Most architecture practices have no real value beyond the principal.

They rely on the principal’s time, relationships, and judgement. Remove the individual, and the value collapses.

Value is created only when a practice is deliberately designed to operate, grow, and transfer without reliance on a single person.

My Advisory Focus

I advise architecture practice principals and boards on the structural decisions that determine long-term value, risk, and strategic optionality. My work focuses on improving decision quality, reducing principal dependency, and designing practices that are scalable, investable, and transferable.

The advisory work behind this site is drawn from direct personal experience of starting, growing, acquiring, merging, and transferring architecture practices, both my own and those of clients.

The thinking and tools shared here are not academic models or generic business theory. They are built from live situations, real constraints, and decisions where outcomes genuinely mattered. Engagements are discreet, strategic, and typically align with periods of growth, acquisition, or succession planning.
