Every architect knows that designing a building is only half the battle; obtaining the necessary permits and approvals can often be a labyrinthine process filled with unexpected setbacks and frustrations. Navigating the intricacies of the architecture world isn't just about design and construction; it often hinges on the art of communication. In this riveting podcast episode, Joe dives deep into the challenges architects face, particularly when they're up against building departments. From unexpected hurdles post-COVID to mastering the nuances of code-related discussions, Joe and Enoch discuss strategies every architect can adopt. Their conversation unravels the layers of human interaction, highlighting the power of persistence, the craft of asking the right questions, and the importance of confidence in your value proposition. This isn't just about buildings – it's about architecting success through strategic communication.

Discover how architect Victor Caban-Diaz developed his first duplex project in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I originally interviewed Victor on the podcast back in May of 2016 (episode number 157). At that time, his dream of developing a multi-family project was just a dream. Fast forward seven years, and he has just finished the 3,400 sf duplex in the South River Middle neighborhood of Ft. Lauderdale. In this episode, you'll discover the lessons Caban-Diaz learned while developing this project, including how increases in building products almost crushed the project.
