E009-Apologies for the hiatus

This episode of FuzzyBuilds marks the return of the podcast after a five-year hiatus, with the last episode released in March 2020, just as COVID-19 disrupted the world. The break was due to an intense workload, as the pandemic presented unique opportunities in the commercial real estate sector. With office buildings sitting empty, landlords and property owners in Los Angeles took advantage of the situation to execute large-scale renovations, seismic retrofits, and modernizations—projects that kept the host busy for the past four years. Now that these multi-year, nine-figure projects are wrapping up, the podcast is resuming with fresh insights and experiences to share.

The episode previews upcoming topics, including IT/AV/security in construction, selecting the right architect, the importance of client involvement, the furniture procurement process, and building selection considerations, and a discussion on industry trends, promising a controversial take. This episode serves as both a reflection on the past few years and an introduction to the exciting content ahead.
