Property Done Properly

PODCAST DESCRIPTION
An educational and entertainment podcast in Real Estate, Construction and Facilities management covering the whole life cycle of a project from inception to realisation. The intention is to educate and inform, provide some entertainment and to provoke debate on how to do a project properly, by getting it right from the very beginning.

ABOUT THE HOST
Ian Rogers is an entrepreneur running businesses in the Real Estate, Construction and Facilities Management arena. Ian has over 40 years’ industry experience, as he was effectively born into construction with his father having his own building company and Ian spending time working on sites from the age of 11!. As a result Ian has seen the industry from a trades person perspective, as a chartered quantity surveyor working on large commercial projects, as a project manager and then working on structured project finance through PFI/PPP deals. This has given Ian a unique whole life approach to any project by considering the end game at the beginning.
