Joe is a Brisbane based architect that has turned his hand to developing his own projects. Like many architects, Joe started his practice and took on whatever commissions he could win. As he grew and evolved he did some renovation projects along the way, and started designing luxury residential homes for his growing client base. He was then presented with an unexpected opportunity to do a development project and that gave him a taste for being the developer and delivering exciting projects he could control. The decision to do his own projects had a number of unintended consequences for Joe and the architecture practice, which he will share during our conversation. There’s a lot of great lessons in this chat, so keep an ear out for the importance of having the right alignment with your project team partners, the benefits of being daring and dangerous, and how you can identify and amplify your success.
