Safe Spaces, Healthy Residents, Flourishing Communities

As builders and architects, we have the privilege of creating the homes and curating the communities where people will live their lives. This is why, when we design spaces that support physical, mental, and emotional well being, our businesses succeed, and our communities thrive. Without understanding the full impact that the physical surroundings have on the people who live there, our work can become very shortsighted.

As architects, designers, builders, and managers, we are vital in developing thriving communities.

What does this mean?

Ensuring Safety, Security and Well-being is your Mission

If you’re a building manager or owner, you’ve probably experienced it many times before: TENANT TURNOVER

At first glance, it may seem simple: find new tenants to replace previous tenants. But in fact, your work is just getting started.

Add in frequent tenant turnover, administration fees and income loss on vacancies and all of a sudden operational costs sky rocket.

But ultimately, it’s not rising operation costs that are the only challenge: you also want to be a leader in creating safe and secure buildings that contribute to the well-being of your tenants and the longevity and vibrancy of your community.

We applaud you for that. And we’re here to help you do just that.

Create Better Homes While Reducing Costs

What if we told you that you could build your business AND build a thriving community?

What if you could deliver places people call home instead of just physical spaces?

And what if you could do all of that amazing work while still reducing your costs?

Well we’re here to tell you that you CAN.

By creating buildings that contribute to a thriving community, you’ll be a recognized professional with a vision and a flourishing business, and as someone who is a leader in community well-being

By understanding the impact that the physical surroundings have on the people who live there you’ll build vibrant, thriving, and supportive communities and you won’t have to sacrifice building your business too.

Here Is What Some of Our Clients Had to Say About Our Building to Thrive ™ Course:

“AVID’s Building to Thrive course has very good and informative material and I can see lots of that affecting my thought process on my projects. I believe it would be useful for most if not all developers. ”

“I had the opportunity to complete the Building to Thrive course in November and December 2021. As someone who was outside the architecture field but working with architects on a specific project, I found the Building to Thrive course to provide a great introduction to the discipline. I left the course with a new appreciation for built environments and an understanding of how existing and new buildings can help users to thrive.

 

The modules can be completed quickly on the user’s own schedule and are delivered in an easy-to-digest, human format. The checklists, takeaway assignments and weekly cohort calls effectively reinforced the learning from the videos without being onerous. I found the course fit well with my full-time work schedule.

 

I recommend Building to Thrive to anyone looking to grow their understanding of how to develop safe and healthy buildings. The course is great for those not in the architectural field who would like to develop basic tools and common language to work effectively with architects and other professionals in the design, construction and renovation of housing.”
