The Network

The Network provides a powerful, bespoke online community of other entrepreneurs who are all Building Small.  There are three levels of access

Small for All – provides free, year long access to new information, discussion threads, tools and techniques others are using to succeed at Building Small.  Join to receive notifications of upcoming Forums, events and webinars.

Small Team – For a low monthly or annual subscription fee, you will gain additional access to insights, additional tools, case studies and direct links to like-minded real estate entrepreneurs, designers and public sector personnel.  Get valuable take home lessons through webinars, streamed content and focused discussions on the small development process.

Small Coach –  As a member of Small Coach, you will go beyond training…gaining valuable mentoring for both project and life skills, along with access to an experienced group of Small Faculty.   The joys and challenge of being a Small Developer come from the entrepreneurial journey, and Small Coach is there to support you with monthly virtual and in person workshops, peer-to-peer groups,  ‘accountability’ check-ins, and proprietary tools developed by someone just like you.  Coach is limited to just 25 individuals to keep it intimate and allow personal connections to grow.  Registration opens in April 2023.

Go ahead.  Explore Building Small – The Network, and figure out what level is best for you.

Building Small provides the What, Why and How of small scale, incremental development.  An inspiring and educational call-to-action, the 250-page toolkit champions fine grained, evolutionary development as a way to support more resilient local economies, foster more authentic places, heal and grow disinvested neighborhoods, and provide a democratic form of community building that spans age, economic means and the rural to urban transect.  Graphically accessible and organized to serve as a long term reference – Building Small presents an insightful view at what is possible along with the tools needed to make it happen.

Beyond a great read, a number of design and real estate development programs are using Building Small as their textbook for aspiring Small Developers.  These include North Carolina State University, University of Miami, Presidio School of Management and Richmond Neighborhood Housing Services Emerging Developer Program.
