Specializing in Residential Projects

The guest, Jason Comer, transitioned from working in an architecture firm to starting his own practice focused on residential projects. He initially struggled with undifferentiated low-value projects but later shifted to value pricing, increasing his fees significantly. However, he still faced challenges in client work and aimed to transition to non-one-on-one work to break out of reliance on direct client projects.
