Architect Dave Pollard started LivCo in 2012 to provide quality design to suburban homeowners, but with some twists to the traditional architectural services model.
Following on the heels of his graduate thesis work stating “to make architecture more accessible, it’s time we stop trying to re-design the building systems, and architects lead the charge in re-thinking the design systems.” This evolved into his design-build model which allows simplified deliverables and a fully integrated and accountable team to deliver “the project”.
LivCo has won numerous awards including fourteen Chicago Remodeling Excellence Awards, four regional remodeling excellence awards, Home of the Year Award, Contractor of the Year Award, five consecutive years Houzz Best in Service, Remodeling Big50, and in 2018, Dave was on ProRemodelers 40 under 40 list.
In today's episode, Dave takes us behind the scene of his design-build business model.

Hi Enoch, this conversation was quite interesting, thank you. The main outcomes I take from this interview with Dave are that 1. Everybody wins when architects truly listen to the current market needs and desires (e.g. homeowners needing/wanting an integral quality service rather than luxurious design services + also expensive construction services), even if that goes against what architects ‘are supposed to do’. 2. There are still amazing blue oceans for architects out there, the only requirements to find them are to observe and listen with empathy. 3. Sharing what you have learned generously, as Dave did, is also always beneficial for oneself, colleagues and for the industry at large. Thanks again and look forward to more videos like this one.

I think, if I was a draftsman and I didn't know a good builder I could trust for an approximate budget a customer needs to know, the customer's left with the responsibility to find a builder to know from the builder the approximate budget for a whole home to build. What do experts mean, to have a team when a draftsman wants to go solo. I discovered that at college a student draftsman who trains is not responsible to work out a budget, however it's the builder's job.
