On this episode we continue The North Wing project by talking about what it means to be an architect and general contractor (builder) of a project. We will explore the exciting world of architect-led construction and how YOU can take charge of your residential projects by becoming your own general contractor…
Whether you’re considering taking the leap or just curious about the process, we’ll break down:
✅ The benefits of architects stepping into the builder role (and, honestly, how natural and rewarding it is)
✅ The challenges you might face—and how to overcome them.
✅ Practical steps, tools, and processes to get started on your first project as an architect-builder.
✅ How using BIM tools, like Autodesk Revit, help to remove the anxiety and risk of design / building.
Sit back, relax, and lets geek out!
