    • Alter Architects - Designing for Developers. Architecture That Builds The Purpose of Place

      Alter Architects - Designing for Developers. Architecture That Builds The Purpose of Place
      Jan 12 2026
      Today, Jonathan and Kieron welcome Grant Shepherd from Alter Architects. Grant shares his journey from landscape designer to architect, detailing his experiences working with various property developers and the importance of collaboration in the industry. They discuss the nuances of architectural design, the significance of effective communication between architects and developers, and the challenges of balancing creativity with budget constraints. KEY TAKEAWAYS Successful property development relies on effective collaboration between architects and developers. Understanding each other's perspectives and terminologies can lead to better project outcomes. Decisions made in the early stages of a project significantly impact the final build cost and overall success. It's essential to assemble the right team and establish clear communication from the outset. Creating spaces that foster community engagement and cater to the needs of residents, especially youth, is vital. Good architecture should not only focus on aesthetics but also on enhancing the quality of life for users. Familiarity with local and national planning policies is critical for architects. This knowledge helps navigate the complexities of securing planning approvals and ensures that projects align with regulatory requirements. Efficient layouts and thoughtful design can add value to a project. Architects should focus on maximising space and functionality while being mindful of budget constraints, ensuring that designs are both practical and appealing. BEST MOMENTS "For us, that was second nature. We grew up with a father who was very creative and he was a landscape gardener." "I think the key thing is that what we come across a lot is that developers don't want to do measured surveys." "I think the critical thing is that those buildings are good returns." "You are the maker of dreams. You are turning their ideas and wishes and wants into reality."

    • Top 10 Challenges in Property Development - Part 10: Mindset and Resilience

      Top 10 Challenges in Property Development - Part 10: Mindset and Resilience
      Jan 5 2026
      In this episode, Jonathan and Kieron delve into the often-overlooked challenge of mindset in property development. As they wrap up their mini-series on the Top 10 Challenges developers face, they emphasise the importance of resilience, mental health, and the ability to navigate pressure in the industry. The duo discusses the significance of setting goals, managing risks, and the value of having a supportive team and mentors. KEY TAKEAWAYS Success in property development heavily relies on having a positive mindset and the ability to navigate pressure and challenges. Developers must cultivate resilience to handle the stresses and uncertainties of the industry. Property development involves managing and mitigating risks rather than avoiding them. It's essential to assess risks for each development and make calculated decisions to move forward. Building a strong team and network is crucial. Collaborating with experienced professionals, mentors, and peers can provide support, guidance, and different perspectives, which are vital for overcoming challenges. Developers need to prioritise their mental and physical health. Taking breaks, engaging in hobbies, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help manage stress and prevent burnout. Each development project serves as a learning opportunity. By reflecting on past challenges and successes, developers can improve their decision-making and approach future projects with greater confidence. BEST MOMENTS "You don't build houses before you build resilience." "Success in development isn't about avoiding pressure. It's about learning to perform under it." "It's about how you deal with setbacks. There's always going to be a solution." "You need to have that kind of resilience. If something goes wrong, it's how can you bounce back from that quickly." "You can't just stick your head in the sand because that's never going to attract investment."

    • Top 10 Goal-Setting Tips for Property Developers in 2026

      Top 10 Goal-Setting Tips for Property Developers in 2026
      Dec 29 2025
      In this final episode of 2025, Jonathan and Kieron reflect on the lessons learned from the past year, and discuss their goals for 2026. They explore various goal-setting strategies, including the SMART framework and the significance of behaviour goals, while also addressing the challenges of instant gratification in today's society. They also share insights on effective networking, building a strong team, and the necessity of reviewing progress regularly. KEY TAKEAWAYS Emphasising the importance of setting realistic and achievable goals, particularly in property development, while also recognising the need for flexibility and adaptability in timelines. Focusing on activity-based goals, such as analysing a certain number of sites per week and attending networking events, to drive results rather than solely concentrating on outcome goals. Highlighting the significance of building a strong network and team, including finding the right professionals to collaborate with, which can enhance the success of property development projects. Encouraging regular reviews of progress and adjustments to goals, as well as celebrating small wins to maintain motivation and recognise achievements throughout the year. Advocating for a life-work balance where personal life takes precedence, and work is structured around it, ensuring that enjoyment and fulfillment are prioritised in both professional and personal endeavours. BEST MOMENTS "2025 taught us a lot. It's kind of taking those lessons and making sure we don't make the same mistakes, but actually growing and scaling from that." "You need to have certain activity goals that you need to be doing, analysing 10 sites per week to be able to submit a certain number of offers per month." "You want to be a yes man, but this is also quite a hard thing because people don't know, until you know, you don't know how far is too far." "Celebrate your small wins. A lot of people don't celebrate. We do a fist bump and then we kind of move on, rather than actually saying, okay, let's reward ourselves for doing something amazing." "The exit of a development should be also the start of the development. You should be reviewing each stage at every stage."
