Hi Viz is Fontaine Bros.' podcast pulling back the curtain on how New England's schools, campuses, and public buildings actually get built. Each episode, we sit down with the architects, engineers, owner's project managers, owners, and tradespeople making it happen: the design decisions, the scheduling puzzles, the site logistics, the moments nobody sees until the ribbon-cutting. It's the full story of a building, told by the people who build it, from a firm that's been managing construction in Massachusetts since 1933.

    Episode 2 - Scott Richardson & Emily Jenkins-Dinunno | GRLA Architects

    On Episode 2 of the HI-VIZ Podcast, Jeff Cammuso talks with Scott Richardson and Emily Jenkins-Dinunno of GRLA as the firm nears 50 years in business. Scott tells how GRLA began in 1976 as “an emergency plan” out of a partner’s apartment, and how 200 postcards started its building envelope practice. He also covers standout projects like WCVB’s newsroom and Chronicle studio and the Subaru of New England headquarters, and his plan to step back while staying involved in museum work. Emily explains why a firm built on kindness and doing the right thing is easy to sell. Then the Let’s Get Real Wheel takes over: architects vs. engineers, a baker’s dozen of kids, keeping a hyphenated name, and whether coffee or an evening drink is the better way to catch up with an old friend.

    Episode 1 - Sophia Zhang | SOZA Architecture

    On the first-ever episode of the HI-VIZ Podcast, host Jeff Cammuso sits down in Worcester, MA with Sophia Zhang, founder of SOZA Architecture. Sophia is a Harvard-trained architect, a firm founder, and a content creator with more than 240,000 Instagram followers. She shares her path from Kazakhstan to Toronto to Boston, and why she quit “keeping her head down” after realizing nobody was coming to reward her. She also tells how a blunt LinkedIn critique and 1,500 thank-you messages turned into six clients, and why “your work will sell itself” is the biggest lie architects are taught. Then the conversation flips to the Let’s Get Real Wheel, with Halloween costumes, Instagram trolls, a $24 rebar ring, and the good, bad and ugly of working with contractors.
