INTRODUCING...
DESIGNING ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE SUCCESS (DAPS) SELF-GUIDED PROGRAM
DAPS is the proven program for architecture firm owners and leaders who want to grow their business expertise, expand their leadership skills and maximize their chances of success.
Our newly updated program will transform your architecture business and help you reach your goals, without all of the stress, overwhelm and sleepless nights.
"I knew we had gaps in our practice, but the course helped me understand what had to happen to fill them. I learned more from those sessions in business than I have in the last 10 years of my practice."
KATE FITZGERALD, WHISPERING SMITH
You started your own architecture practice with all the hopes of doing finally working on projects YOU enjoy, making a good salary and enjoying the perks of being your own boss, but...
Leading a successful architecture practice that does great work is not out of reach.
What if you could learn a BETTER way of running your practice?
The Designing Architectural Practice Success [DAPS] program has been designed to provide you with a holistic understanding of business.
Over 8 weeks, you’ll learn the key concepts across foundational areas of business, including finance, sales and marketing, vision, structure, leadership and management.
We should mention that this is not an architect teaching an architect. We believe that, in order for architects to succeed in business, it is crucial to have an unbiased, external figure that can properly teach you all of the concepts that your professors, employers and fellow architects could not.
The DAPS 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.
By the end of the course, you will be able to identify the gaps in your knowledge and understanding so that you can plan for those areas of your practice that you’d like to develop.
You will no longer have the feeling that you are missing gaps in your education. Instead, you will feel confident leading your practice and well-prepared for conversations with clients, peers and employees.
Our aim is to give you the tools you need to start your journey to a more fulfilling, profitable and happier life as an architect.
"I really like the way Ray cuts through all the business waffle and makes complex things seem simple and accessible.

“I see such potential in architects and their practices. Too often that potential remains locked up because architects have never been taught the basics of business.
Rectifying that situation is my passion. Seeing our clients with good workflow, decent salaries and money in the company bank account gives me amazing satisfaction.”
RAY BROWN
We believe that if you succeed, we succeed. That’s why we guarantee our results.
Our guarantee isn’t the typical sneaky “kick the tyres, check it out, you’ll be satisfied – we promise!” style of guarantee. We stand behind our course 100% because we know it works when you take action.
The difference between information and real education is partnership. In a true education experience, the teacher and student ‘share’ responsibility for the student’s success. The teacher is invested just as much as the student. With Archibiz you have a committed partner in your course success.
Your responsibility in the partnership is to bring 100% of your effort and expertise; to participate, read, watch and do the homework and to reach out when you need help with the course.
If you don’t find value in the first 30 days of the Course and have brought 100% of your effort and expertise in that time, then we will refund 100% of your money. You just need to let us know within the first 30 days of enrolling in the course.
Absolutely. All you have to do is scroll to the bottom left of this link and select your currency from the drop down menu.
Only Australians buying in AUD currency pay GST (Goods and Services Tax) on the course. If you are buying our courses from a jurisdiction outside of Australia, in an alternate currency, you will not be charged tax.
Yes. If you are looking for a payment plan, please reach out to us directly and we will manually set you up. The payment plan includes 3 monthly payments of US$594.
No. Once you sign up, you have ongoing access to the course on Thinkific. This is the hub where you will find everything you need to create a sustainable and profitable practice. We get that there’s a lot to take in and that you’re going to want to come back and recap on various topics as issues arise in your practice. Simply login and it’s all there to access.
If you are only two people in your practice (whether business partners or not) and you would both like to do the program, you only have to pay once and both of you will get access. However, if you have more than 2+ people and you would like to do the program, please speak to us directly and we'll arrange a discount for your team.
We offer a 30-day, 100% money back guarantee on our DAPS Program. If you decide you don’t like it or it’s not for you, then as long as you contact us within 30 days of enrolling, we will happily refund 100% of your money, no questions asked. We don’t want any unhappy clients.
We drip-feed one module per week for eight weeks. Each module is about 90 minutes, and we suggest setting aside an additional hour or two per week to think through the material and complete the homework. We will introduce and explain key concepts to you so that you can evaluate these in the context of your own practice. Is this concept relevant to me? Is it relevant to me now? Do I want to make changes in my practice now or in the future? Sometimes these thoughts are best reflected upon over a glass of wine or a quiet dinner with your business partners. Business can be fun!
Yes, we have had people from practices in multiple countries complete our courses and engage with our coaching services, including the USA, Europe, South America, UK and New Zealand. The materials are specifically designed to be applicable for all architectural firms, regardless of where you're located.
We understand that the material can be a lot to digest. You will have access to our Course Community once you enroll in the program. There, you can seek support from Archibiz Mentors and your peers. We promise to respond to you within 48 hours.
Upon finishing a course you will receive a Certificate of Completion that may be used when applying for CPD points from the relevant body that manages CPD in your jurisdiction.
More than that, once you finish you’ll be a part of our growing community at Archibiz.
Can I continue to get help after a course?
We offer a variety of services, such as virtual business coaching or business reviews, to help accelerate your journey. You can learn more about these on the services page of our website.
