Podcast: My Building Experience With Enso Homes

In episode 14 of the Build Your Legacy podcast, host Sam Piasente sits down with Jenny, a two-time Enso Homes client, to unpack her journey of building not once, but twice, with Enso. Jenny shares how grandchildren and the dream of a larger holiday home first led her to consider building, her initial impressions of Enso’s designs, and the leap of faith it took to place her trust in a new builder.

The conversation dives into Jenny’s first build at Point Lonsdale, a home designed for family gatherings by the coast, and the mix of excitement, nerves, and relief that came with the process. She reflects on the moments that confirmed she’d made the right choice, the challenges that tested her, and the pride of creating a home that was both beautiful and practical.

Jenny then takes us through the bold decision to sell that first home and build again, this time during Covid, on a block that offered sweeping golf course views. She reveals how her second build differed from the first. From embracing reverse living and integrating a lift, to reimagining the floor plan to create a larger family hub that has since become the heart of her home.

Along the way, Jenny highlights what stood out about Enso’s approach the second time around, how trust and communication carried her through, and the design choices that made the biggest impact on her lifestyle. Looking back, she shares her advice for first-time builders: why orientation, natural light, and thoughtful upgrades matter, and the wisdom behind her father’s saying: “Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten.”
