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 […]
Falling Behind? Now Is the Time to Add Remote Mechanical Engineers to Your Team
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of mechanical engineers is projected to grow 9% from 2024 to 2034—faster than the average for all occupations. That means roughly 18,100 job openings every year, fueled by growing demand and the need to replace retiring engineers or those leaving the field. The talent gap is […]
How Forward-Thinking Firms Are Growing Without Growing Overhead
AEC firms are constantly under pressure to grow—more clients, more projects, more revenue. But with that growth often comes a painful side effect: rising overhead. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (May 2024), the median salary for civil engineers is around $99,590/year, but the top 10% in the field pull in over $160,000—and […]
How One Remote Engineer Delivers Triple the ROI
Firms are expected to take on more projects, meet tighter deadlines, and deliver innovative designs—all while controlling costs. The OECD reports that global steelmaking capacity is set to increase by 6.7% between 2025 and 2027, a shift that could put upward pressure on prices and strain supply chains. It’s a tough balancing act, and it […]
Short on BIM Talent? Here’s What to Do
From improving coordination to reducing errors and rework, BIM has completely changed how architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms operate. A 2023 market analysis reports that the global Building Information Modeling (BIM) market was valued at USD 7.9 billion and is projected to reach USD 15 billion by 2028, with a strong compound annual growth […]
Don’t Let Compliance Delays Cost You Projects
Timelines are king in the AEC world—projects live or die by the deadline. Whether it’s a commercial build, infrastructure project, or residential development, your clients expect results—on time, on budget, and up to code. But while firms work hard to meet project milestones, there’s one major factor that quietly sabotages timelines and budgets: compliance delays. […]
Project Delays Costing You? It’s Not Design—It’s Your Processes
When an architecture or engineering project runs behind schedule, it’s easy to point the finger at design revisions, client indecision, or unforeseen site challenges. But here’s the truth: most project delays aren’t caused by the design itself—they’re caused by the processes surrounding it. In fact, a KPMG report found that only 25% of construction projects […]
