Leveling With: Dave Liddick
To mark this transition, we sat down with Dave for a quick Q&A to discuss how his background influences his approach to business development, what excites him most about the future of development in Northwest Arkansas, and what he believes sets ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø apart.
You’ve recently stepped into the role of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s Northwest Arkansas Business Development Manager. How does your background and Northwest Arkansas resident shape the way you approach this new role?
I think developers and the real estate community in Northwest Arkansas enjoy talking to someone who understands the details of construction for a project. With my experience and past role, I’ve been a part of a wide variety of project details.
That experience lets me look at a project early and not just talk about possibilities, but identify risks, sequencing issues, and cost drivers sooner. Being local to Northwest Arkansas we understand subcontractor market, the municipalities, and how projects move through this region. My goal is to bring that practical perspective into conversations from day one so our clients feel confident in the path forward.
What do you think sets ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø apart in delivering successful design-build projects?
What really sets ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø apart is how strong we are on the front end of a project. We’re not just reacting; we’re planning with intention from the start.
We’ve worked in almost every major market across the country. ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is used to navigating different building departments, timelines, and expectations. That experience translates really well in Northwest Arkansas, where each city operates a little differently.
On top of that, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø has built such a wide range of product types that we’re rarely starting from scratch. If a client brings us a challenge, chances are we’ve experienced similar before and we pull from that experience to offer solutions that are both practical and efficient.
What are some of the biggest challenges or considerations unique to Northwest Arkansas development and construction?
One thing we’ve experienced in Northwest Arkansas, especially with the recent large campus work, is that there’s no shortage of labor, but there’s a wide range in quality and capability across the subcontractor market.
The challenge isn’t finding partners, it’s finding the right partners for your specific project. That’s where experience really matters. Knowing who can perform well, who communicates, and who can keep up with the pace of a job can make or break a project.
A big part of what we do is help clients navigate that landscape and build the right team from the start so there are fewer surprises down the road.
What excites you most about the growth and opportunities ahead in the Northwest Arkansas region?
The exciting opportunity for Northwest Arkansas is the balance within the region. Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, and Fayetteville all have their own identity and growth patterns, so when things reach a point in one area, they tend to pick up in another. That balanced stability is great for long-term development.
From a construction standpoint, there’s also a lot of variety: different product types, different site conditions, and some unique environmental challenges. The variety of growth keeps things interesting and creates opportunities to bring creative, experience-driven solutions to the table.
When you’re not at work, where can we usually find you?
I like to get my lifting and jiu jitsu done early in the mornings so I’ve handled the hardest part of the day before work starts. After work, time is usually centered around my wife and our six‑year‑old son. I have a mat space in my garage, which helps me keep my favorite things close to home. My wife and I met in Montana, so spending time outdoors has always been part of who we are and a reason we enjoy calling Northwest Arkansas home. When we’re not in the gym, we enjoy getting out to Beaver Lake and the Eureka Springs area.
