Business of Architecture Podcast
Discover strategies, tips and secrets for running a fun, flexible and profitable architecture practice. The focus here is simple: discussion of ways for architects to create a dream architecture practice: design what you want, when you want, and get paid well for it.

Today I speak with Karen Compton and Gabrielle Bullock. Karen Compton is the Principal of the Architecture Business Consulting firm A3K Consulting, and Gabrielle Bullock is the Director of Global Diversity at Perkins and Will.

I invited Karen and Gabrielle on the show to discuss their new vodcast - Breaking the Silence of Design, which you can find on YouTube.

On the vodcast Karen and Gabrielle discuss the topics of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion - and more. On this episode, you'll discover their motivation behind starting the podcast, and what they hope others will take away from what they have to share.

Architect Dave Pollard started LivCo in 2012 to provide quality design to suburban homeowners, but with some twists to the traditional architectural services model.

Following on the heels of his graduate thesis work stating “to make architecture more accessible, it’s time we stop trying to re-design the building systems, and architects lead the charge in re-thinking the design systems.” This evolved into his design-build model which allows simplified deliverables and a fully integrated and accountable team to deliver “the project”.

LivCo has won numerous awards including fourteen Chicago Remodeling Excellence Awards, four regional remodeling excellence awards, Home of the Year Award, Contractor of the Year Award, five consecutive years Houzz Best in Service, Remodeling Big50, and in 2018, Dave was on ProRemodelers 40 under 40 list.

In today's episode, Dave takes us behind the scene of his design-build business model.
