"Architects design things we can't actually build."
We sat down with Saxon Hall, Principal Architect at Align Architecture, to tackle the age-old tension between architects and builders. Saxon's unique perspective as a carpenter's son gives him insight into both sides of this divide.
In this episode, we explore why communication breaks down between architects and builders, and more importantly, how to fix it. Saxon shares his 'Align Build Collaboration' method that brings builders into projects from day one, the debate around tender vs negotiated contracts, and why energy-efficient design doesn't have to sacrifice aesthetics.
Saxon's diverse experience across residential, heritage, and sustainable projects proves that when architects understand building practicalities and builders appreciate design intent, everyone wins.
Key topics:
• Why early builder involvement saves headaches
• Tender processes vs negotiated contracts
• The poetic nature of architecture meets practical building
• Climate-adapted, sustainable design solutions
• Balancing collaboration with contractual obligations
