21. The Design - Build Relationship No One Talks About.
Episode description
In this episode of Behind the Design, I sat down with my producer, Andrew for a candid Q&A session unpacking the real-world process of collaboration in the design and construction industry.
From aligning with architects during early-stage planning, working seamlessly with builders to manage schedules and budgets, to guiding clients through joinery decisions - this episode reveals how intentional collaboration and communication transforms design concepts into practical, beautiful spaces.
I share my insights on client engagement, communication pitfalls, and the secrets to delivering both functional and aesthetically compelling results.
