Many architects dream of doing their own developments, but the fear of financial risk, inexperience with construction, and lack of support can stop them before they start. Becoming your client sounds empowering until you're staring down zoning codes, contractor bids, and bank meetings.

In this episode, architect and developer Kevin Hittle shares how he bridged that gap. Kevin started as a laborer, became an architect, and eventually wore all three hats: architect, developer, and contractor. It’s a story of sweat equity, smart deals, and building something both beautiful and profitable.

You’ll learn how one small project sparked a bigger vision—and how being deeply involved at every stage of the process changed the way he now designs for others. His practical insights offer a grounded, no-fluff view of what it really takes to make development work as a solo architect. And he’s clear about the one piece of experience every architect should get.

Listen to learn:

• How he built a $1.8M project with less than $30K in cash
• The rare zoning loophole that changed everything
• Why being “the maintenance guy” made him a better architect
• The unexpected thing he now regrets not upgrading
