Growing Consultancies Ep 32: Not a Surveyor but built a consultancy | Annie Buckley of Fourth Wall Building Consultancy

Welcome back to Growing ConsultanciesIn this episode, I sit down with Annie Buckley, Co-Founder of Fourth Wall Building Consultancy, a growing building surveying practice operating across the UK.What makes this conversation different is Annie’s journey.She did not come from a building surveying background. Instead, she started her career in PR and corporate affairs before stepping into the construction world to co-build a consultancy alongside her partner.And that is where it gets interesting.While the technical team focuses on delivery, Annie has built the engine behind the business through marketing, business development, systems, and strategy.In this episode, we cover:- How Fourth Wall was built from scratch during COVID- The role of non-technical leadership in construction consultancies- Why marketing and business development are often overlooked in the built environment- Building systems, processes, and using AI to gain an edge- The realities of starting a consultancy at a young age- Navigating the industry as a female leader in construction- Lessons learned from early mistakes and scaling a businessThis is a must watch for:- Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers and Building Surveyors- Anyone thinking about starting their own consultancy- Leaders looking to grow and modernise their businessAnnie brings a fresh perspective to an industry that often does things the same way it always has.If you are building a consultancy, or thinking about it, there is a lot to take from this one.🔔 Subscribe for more episodesAnnie BuckleyFourth Wall Building Consultancy#constructionindustry #buildingsurveying #consultancy #entrepreneurship #builtenvironment #property #businessgrowth #womeninconstruction #startupjourney #ukconstruction #growingconsultancies
