The Australian edition follows its British lead and, generally, begins with Maddison meeting the individuals constructing a "unique" build; this is followed by a CAD (Computer Aided Design, produced by Our Vision) of the layout of the build. As the build progresses, Maddison visits the site to interview the build clients and will, occasionally, interview other persons relevant to the project such as architects and site managers. Finally, Maddison visits the site, at a planned end of the build and interviews the project clients on life in their new house (if completed) and the challenges they encountered in pursuing the project.

gollark: That is NOT THE HARD PART.
gollark: (I'm still confused though)
gollark: People have already given helpful suggestions how to, soo...
gollark: Parsing a recipe dump and figuring out the steps to autocraft an item.
