About Stony

Thirty years on site.
No small talk.

Richard "Stony" Stone has spent three decades on the tools, running jobs and fixing the ones that went wrong. Built to Behave is where he takes the conversations most of the industry won't have.

The host

Built different, on purpose.

Richard is a Chartered Construction Manager (MCIOB) and Fellow of the Association of Construction Quality Professionals (FACQP), working as a Quantity Surveyor, Project Manager and Principal Designer.

He runs the Project Management Blueprint, which trains builders and property developers to run projects with structure instead of stress, and is one of the lead trainers at Progressive Property. He is a TEDx speaker and multi award-winning property and construction educator.

Over 75% of his clients are women. That shapes the show: if construction wants to open its doors to everyone, the honest conversations have to start somewhere.
