Show Notes

Matthew Jackson studied Architecture in 2007 and moved away from mainstream Architecture into project management and business development for BIMobject, a technology-driven digital company whose mission is to digitalise construction for a sustainable future.

In this episode, Matthew and I discuss what it is like to move away from traditional Architecture and work in a digital startup that goes through exponential growth, moving away from the UK for a life in Sweden,  the industry's challenges with becoming digital, going green as well as what the future holds for Architecture.

One of my favourite conversations for sure, buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Hello! I’m Stephen Drew, Founder of the Architecture Social—an online community and resource hub dedicated to helping professionals in Architecture, Design, Development, and Real Estate advance their careers. I’m here to connect you with insights, tools, and opportunities that lead to meaningful growth, whether you’re just starting out or ready to take that next big step.

What is Architecture Social?

It is hard to get a job in architecture. We exist to help you get there. Hosted by Stephen Drew, Architecture Social is the unfiltered guide to the UK Built Environment. We decode the realities of the industry, provide actionable cheat codes for your career, and bridge the communication gap between the drafting board and the boardroom.

Whether you are a Part I assistant trying to survive your first role, a Part III architect managing complex procurement, or a Practice Director fighting tight margins and adapting to the Building Safety Act, this podcast is your central node of intelligence. We strip away the aesthetic gatekeeping and toxic positivity to talk about the actual mechanics of the business.

Expect honest conversations about salary realities, portfolio strategies, hiring economics, and the true experiences of the people actively shaping the profession.

No fluff, just the reality of practice.
