Pillars of Property: EP18 - Is the Property Industry Slowing Itself Down? | Dave Symondson

Kingsley Hughes of Designscape Consultants interviews Dave Symondson of Dev-Brok about how layers of policies, procedures and requirements are slowing progress across the property industry. Their conversation raises a practical question: has the industry made moving a project forward unnecessarily difficult? As requirements accumulate, there is a case for examining whether each additional step serves a useful purpose and whether that purpose could be achieved more efficiently. Requirements that protect life are essential. The discussion focuses on the wider demands surrounding property projects, questioning whether the benefits justify the time and complexity they introduce. Bringing together experience in architectural design, development and property finance, Kingsley and Dave examine the obstacles the industry places in its own path. #propertydevelopment #propertyfinancing #propertyfinance
