Want a sneak peek inside Designing Business Foundations Program (BFP) Program? 👀

Access 3 of our favorite lessons for free. No payment details required.

Ever feel like you're running your architecture practice blind? You have the creative part down, but struggle when it to the business side of things?

We created the Business Foundations Program (BFP) for architects and designers who are looking to fill in the gaps in their business education. It's for people who want to feel confident running their practice and *actually* enjoy all aspects of the business (finance included!)

The Business Foundations Program uses a unique delivery method. You’ll have the benefit of learning from and with your peers, what has and what hasn’t worked for them.

Our eight-week program is beloved by architects from around the world. It covers everything from sales and marketing, vision, structure, finance, operations, leadership and management.

We believe the program is an absolute game-changer. So much so, that we’re giving you THREE lessons free so you can experience it for yourself.

Architects love DAPS

Making business simple

Anne Hindley, Hindley & Co

I like the way Ray cuts through all the business waffle and makes complex things seem simple and accessible.

Relating better to business

Antony Martin, MRTN Architects

I found it really helpful and beneficial. It's not only improved my business, but how I personally relate to my business.

Know what you don't know

Luke Madden, Tony Madden Architects

At the end of the 8 weeks, I got a base that holds me in good stead to know roughly what I need to be looking at and working towards.

I can't wait for next week!

Joost van Bree, Bree Architects

From the first module I walked away feeling this is great. I want to see more and can't wait for next week.

Get clarity in your practice

Brett Stonehouse, Irons McDuff Architecture

It has been refreshing to take an objective review of what we have been doing. It has provided some clarity and in some cases, positive reinforcement that we are on the right path.

A framework for business

Karryn Dargie, Inertia

The DAPS Course has given us a framework for our business that we can weave our own creative tapestry across.
