  • Outstanding business knowledge and mind shift growth

    I have witness my college friend grow his business, his wealth and his employees wealth by following the principles taught by Enoch and Rion’s team.

Growing a Profitable Architecture Team Inside CBRE with Dominic McAndrew | EP678
Q: How does CBRE's ownership and profitability structure affect your team?
Design Collective has its own P&Ls for Ireland and the UK, which creates accountability and enables investment in tools and people. It's a balance of benefiting from CBRE's scale while maintaining a distinct, client-focused architectural practice that can operate with autonomy within the green machine.
