The DREAM BuildCast Ep. 1 | Where Do I Start? Development, Design & Avoiding Costly Mistakes
In the very first episode of The DREAM BuildCast, we dive into the big question every aspiring builder, business owner, or developer faces: “Where do I start?”
Join Nicholas and guests Alex and Devon as they break down the early stages of development from feasibility and planning to architecture, engineering, and construction management. Using real-world examples like restaurants and daycares, they reveal the hidden pitfalls that can derail a project before it even begins.
You’ll learn:
- Why understanding feasibility is more important than chasing ideas.
- The crucial difference between architects, developers, and owners’ reps.
- How upfront planning saves money, time, and frustration down the line.
- The unique challenges of commercial vs. residential projects.
- Case study insights and lessons from clients who “didn’t know what they didn’t know.”
Whether you’re planning a daycare, opening a restaurant, or just curious about the process of turning an idea into reality, this episode is packed with practical wisdom, candid stories, and professional insights to guide your next step.
