What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I would say it is a very creative industry. No building is the same. Every project is different from the last, so there's always a constant learning curve.
There's never really a dull moment. It's always a new set of challenges, a new problem to solve. There's nothing boring whatsoever about development and construction.
