In this episode, we continued The North Wing project by discussing what it meant to be both an architect and a general contractor (builder) for a project. We explored the exciting world of architect-led construction and how individuals could take charge of their residential projects by becoming their own general contractor.
Whether listeners were considering taking the leap or just curious about the process, we broke down:
✅ The benefits of architects stepping into the builder role (and how natural and rewarding it could be).
✅ The challenges they might face—and how to overcome them.
✅ Practical steps, tools, and processes to get started on their first project as an architect-builder.
✅ How using BIM tools, like Autodesk Revit, could help reduce the anxiety and risk of designing and building.
PS - As I mentioned in the video... all of the files I share on this project (Revit, Excel, Schedule) are available to download for all members of the BIM After Dark Community....
