How A&E Firms Keep Projects Moving With Limited Manpower
Across the architecture and engineering world, one challenge keeps coming up in conversations, meetings, and late-night A&E project reviews: there’s more work to do, but fewer people to do it. Deadlines are tightening, clients expect faster turnarounds, and projects are growing more complex. Yet hiring is slower, talent is harder to find, and budgets remain under pressure. According to OpenAsset, 69% of firms believe hiring difficulties will persist, […]
How A&E Firms Are Expanding Teams Without Adding Offices
For decades, growth in architecture and engineering (A&E) firms followed a predictable path: more projects meant more hires, which meant bigger offices. New leases, added overhead, and higher fixed costs came with the territory. Today, that playbook is changing. Across the U.S., A&E firms are expanding their teams, increasing capacity, and delivering more work without […]

How Remote Teams Help Small Firms Compete With Industry Giants in 2026
For decades, the architecture and engineering (A&E) industry has followed a predictable pattern: large firms win the biggest projects because they have the largest teams, the widest skill sets, and the deepest resources. Smaller firms, even those with incredible talent, often get boxed out simply because they can’t match the headcount or capacity of their […]
The Real Reason A&E Firms Struggle to Hire — And How Remote Teams Solve It
Ask any architecture or engineering leader in A&E firms what keeps them up at night, and you’ll hear the same thing: “We just can’t hire fast enough.” Whether you run a small boutique firm or manage a multi-office operation, the talent crunch feels the same. Project demand keeps rising, deadlines keep tightening, and qualified candidates seem […]
Want to Win More Bids? Start with a Scalable Engineering Team
Winning bids takes more than great design ideas and competitive pricing — it takes the capacity to deliver. Many architecture and engineering firms lose promising opportunities not because they lack skill, but because they don’t have enough bandwidth to take on more work confidently. Building scalable engineering capacity is often what separates firms that keep […]
The Flexible Workforce Model Every Engineering Firm Should Explore
Projects are getting larger, deadlines tighter, and budgets thinner. Yet, the challenge that keeps many firm owners awake at night isn’t technology or competition — it’s people. Finding the right engineers has become harder, keeping them is costly, and scaling teams quickly feels almost impossible. According to the ACEC Research Institute’s 2024 Q4 Engineering Business Sentiment […]
How Remote Architects Adapt to Local U.S. Building Styles and Client Preferences
Architecture is deeply personal. Whether it’s a cozy farmhouse in Tennessee, a minimalist modern home in Arizona, or a classic Cape Cod on the East Coast, every project tells a story. It reflects the lifestyle of the homeowner, the climate of the region, and the personality of the local community. But architecture is also evolving. […]
The Remote Electrical Engineer That Could Help You Take On More Projects
Architecture and engineering (A&E) opportunities are everywhere—but resources often aren’t. You’ve got clients knocking, projects stacking up, and deadlines drawing near. But there’s one bottleneck that keeps reappearing: not enough qualified engineers to take the load. And in particular, not enough electrical engineers. If you’ve ever passed on a project, pushed out a timeline, or overworked […]
