As Built
The professionals who build buildings also need to build their practices. The key to business development in the built environment is understanding the relationship between architects, building materials, contractors, and clients - and how each group makes decisions.

Hosts Brian Jones and Patience Jones will also provide insights from their experiences helping firms in the built environment industry grow and succeed. Our series on the Nelson-Atkins Museum International Design Competition received a Silver Medal in the 2025 W3 Awards in the category Podcast: General Series - Cultural Institutions.
