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 will be speaking with Tyler Suomala, a serial learner obsessed with helping architects optimize all things business development, sales, marketing, and operations.

Before transitioning into Business Development at Monograph, Tyler worked in both large and small architecture offices and also ran his own architectural design studio for 2.5 years. He holds a B.S. in Architecture from the University of Michigan and a Masters in Architecture from Princeton University.

Tyler is currently creating a community of architects at TylerTactics.com, where he sends one quick & powerful tactic each week to help architects communicate their unique value.

 

In this episode we will be discussing:

  • How a practice can expand their business pipeline
  • Tools and infrastructure a firm owner should have if they want to grow their pipeline
  • A strategy for negotiation and increasing fees

Nicki Dennis Stephens, Hon. AIA is the Executive Director of AIA California. Since taking the helm of AIA California in 1999, Stephens’ leadership has positioned the chapter as a leader in member service, government advocacy, and public engagement. In 2003, she convened a group of talented volunteers to define a new approach to project delivery. Her efforts resulted in the landmark publications Integrated Project Delivery: A Working Definition and Experiences in Collaboration, both of which have been heralded as the best primers for Integrated Project Delivery. The initiative quickly spread through AIA, prompting the development of Integrated Project Delivery: A Guide in 2007, which shared California’s design and construction process with the nation.

In this episode, you'll discover how Nicki Dennis Stephens leads the American Institute of Architect's largest state component.
