Sarah Blaney interviews Nick Claydon about the many challenges faced when a project nears completion, including the importance of marketing and building relationships with local businesses, as well as the frustrations of dealing with utilities and infrastructure.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Start early and be proactive in dealing with utilities and infrastructure when launching a project.
There’s huge value in networking and being part of a community of like-minded individuals in the property industry.
There’s a great need to retain control and stay involved in important aspects of the project, rather than outsourcing everything to others.
There are benefits to be found in marketing and collaboration with local businesses to enhance the guest experience and attract customers.

BEST MOMENTS

"Anything relating to public sector interaction is a challenge, I think. And you have to build in extra time, and a lot of extra time, I think, to deal with that."

"So yeah, it's all good fun doing that. I like that angle, that part of it”

"When you're doing a big project like a hotel or like a co-working space, where you know you have a wide audience at the end who can use your service, the other thing that it's not a challenge, it's just part of the process is…" 

"When you're working on a big project which does need these infrastructures put in, it's something that, whilst you can say, oh, I've allowed eight months for this, it's one of those things where it can astound you how long it can take."
