I’ve always believed that the best conversations in architecture and construction don’t happen in boardrooms. They happen on-site – between architects, developers, surveyors, and trades – where real challenges meet real solutions!
But too often, these insights stay on-site instead of shaping the way we collaborate and build. That’s why I’m stepping behind the mic to launch ‘The Hard Hat Talks’ – a podcast that pulls back the curtain on the industry and puts the most important conversations front and centre.
Bringing Real Industry Conversations to the Forefront
After more than 20 years in architecture and construction – working with Scotland’s leading entrepreneurs and developers – I’ve seen first-hand how projects succeed (or struggle) based on how well professionals work together. From navigating planning laws to balancing budgets and sustainability, every decision impacts the final outcome.
The best solutions come from honest, experience-driven discussions – so that’s exactly what we’re bringing to this podcast. Expect episodes tackling topics like:
- Planning permission puzzles – cutting through red tape without losing the vision
- The cost vs. quality debate – finding the balance that works in the real world
- Bridging the gap – between architects and developers, for better-built environments
- Tech in construction – what’s hype, what’s actually making a difference
No corporate fluff. No sales pitches. Just real industry conversations with the people shaping the built environment today.
Hosting ‘The Hard Hat Talks’ – Why This Matters to Me
Hosting this podcast isn’t just about talking – it’s about learning from the best in the industry. While I’ll be leading the conversations initially, this is a platform for architects, developers, and construction professionals to share their insights, experiences, and solutions.
Because when we talk, share, and challenge each other, we raise the standard for the entire industry.
Coming Soon – Be Part of the Conversation
Our first episode drops in April 2025, and I can’t wait to get started. Whether you’re a developer looking to strengthen relationships with architects, a surveyor tackling industry challenges, or a construction pro looking for fresh perspectives, this podcast is for you.
