Building Integrity: Ted Roth on the Real Work Behind Real Estate Development

Foundation Issues

What if the real foundation of every great project isn’t concrete — but character?

In this episode of Foundation Issues, host Dhara Patel sits down with Ted Roth, Founder of Real Property Consulting, to explore the unseen side of development — where patience, problem-solving, and integrity are as critical as budgets and blueprints.

With nearly 30 years in construction management and real estate operations, Ted has seen it all: the booms, the busts, the lawsuits, and the lessons. From growing up around New York City developers to managing complex projects across the country, Ted shares how he built a career on honesty, adaptability, and boots-on-the-ground experience.

Together, Dhara and Ted dive into:
🏗️ The evolution of the owner’s rep role — and why it’s more vital than ever
📋 What really causes project delays (and how to prevent them)
💰 The triangle of trust between owners, lenders, and contractors
🧠 How to lead under pressure without losing perspective
💬 Why reputation is the most valuable asset you’ll ever build

Whether you’re a developer, builder, or anyone fascinated by how ideas become skylines, this episode is a reminder that real success in real estate starts with people who do things the right way — even when it’s hard.
