ATL Collective: Now Welcoming More Construction Professionals (Builders, Designers & Architects)
From the beginning, the Curious Builder Collectives were never about networking for the sake of networking. They were about solving real problems through real conversation.
That’s why the Atlanta Collective is doing something a little different.
For the first time, we’re officially opening the table to all construction professionals including builders, designers, and architects together, as equals.
Why Atlanta—and Why Now?
Most of us already work in blended teams. We rely on each other every day. But rarely do we sit in the same room and talk openly about how we work together in the construction industry: what’s hard, what’s broken, and what could be better.
Brad Robinson and Vincent Longo, who host the ATL Collective, were immediately on board. They’ve operated in this collaborative space for years and understand how powerful alignment can be when teams are truly integrated.
So instead of keeping design professionals and architects on the sidelines, we’re bringing them fully into the conversation.
The Power of a Multi-Discipline Room
When builders, designers, and architects can actually talk through the process together, it’s like unlocking a cheat code.
You start to understand each other’s pressures, timelines and constraints, pet peeves and project execution blind spots, and just as importantly, each other’s strengths.
Most of us were never taught how to collaborate well. We learned on the job, usually the hard way. These sessions create space to practice doing it better without the pressure of complex projects.
You walk away with tools, real relationships, and referrals that actually make sense. But more than anything, you leave with a deeper respect for what everyone brings to the table.
The ATL Collective
In the Atlanta group, there are high-level thinkers in the room, but no one’s trying to posture. People laugh. They aren’t afraid to share things that didn’t work. They’re honest about where they’re stuck.
Brad and Vance do an excellent job creating an environment where it feels safe to speak up whether you’re running a multi-million-dollar firm or you’re a solo operator trying to scale without losing your soul. There’s room for everyone to contribute.
The Real Value of Joining a Collective
At the end of the day, business is about people.
These groups give you a front-row seat to how other top professionals think, problem-solve, and make decisions. You get better language for client meetings. Fresh perspective on systems and industry trends. And a network of people who refer you because they understand how you think, not just what you do.
Some of my strongest industry relationships came out of these Collectives!
What I Hope This Leads To
My hope is simple: less finger-pointing, more partnership.
I want clients to feel that their builder, architect, and designer are rowing in the same direction, not pulling apart.
I also hope this brings together people who might not have crossed paths otherwise. Some of the best ideas I’ve ever heard came from a completely different discipline. That kind of cross-pollination is powerful.
This Collective model is a small step toward better collaboration, but small steps add up.

How to Join Us
We keep the groups intentionally small so you get depth, not noise. The ATL Collective meets quarterly, and spots fill quickly.
