Recently, a lively exchange sprang up among architects and developers on ULI’s LinkedIn.com group. Members of each group were posting what they would put into a “how-to” book about real estate development for design/construction professionals. Some of the themes from the LinkedIn discussion are below:
- Developers face risks that architects do not.
- Expectations for “when will I get paid?” are different.
- Some architects also have acted as developers, and this gives them a different perspective.
