In this week's episode, I was joined by Sonya Miller, the Founding Director of Armitage Jones, the Consulting Project Management and Development Firm, and Dynamic Property Group, a boutique property development business.  Sonya and I had a wide-ranging conversation about her experiences in the construction and property industry.  We discussed how she progressed into then progressing her career, some of the challenges faced by the industry, managing risk and how it affects the market and approaching the selection of head contractors for a project. I really enjoyed our conversation and I learned a lot from Sonya's insights into the construction and property industry.  I think our listeners will find her insights to be valuable as well. Here are some of the key takeaways from our conversation: The number of challenges that the construction and property industry is facing, including rising costs, labour shortages, and regulatory changes.The importance of carefully selecting head contractors, as they can have a significant impact on the success of a project.Why a collaborative management style is essential for success in the construction and property industry.The differences between Project management and Development management, the two distinct disciplines, and the importance of understanding them.Hope you enjoy the podcast!
