This week, we speak with Ben Gommers from Gommers Construction, a trusted service focused on quality and efficiency in all projects. Ben's path to building went from graphic design to the 'rollercoaster' of construction.

In this episode, Ben shares being 'thrown in the deep end' and learning to 'put his big boy pants on.' He reflects on early worries about work and his view that 'architecture is design.' We also discuss the risks of solely relying on architect leads, the value of collaboration, building a good team culture by hiring to fill gaps, and the challenges of quoting and pricing confidently.
