Fractional COO for Architecture Firms
Architecture; a Profession or Business?
We Believe it Can Be Both
Architects and designers are creative thinkers, solving design challenges for their clients. The focus in firms is on innovative design solutions that foster their client’s own potential and goals. These are all critically important. The challenge for many smaller firms is finding the time to focus on the business aspect. Operations generally fall on the shoulders of the sole principal or partner. The pure passion Architects and designers have for their profession will push their time and focus more on what they love doing rather than the needed attention the business requires.

We help tie professional needs with business needs by aligning project teams and business, looking for misalignments between them, and providing business training as it relates to the architectural profession.

Industry Experience
Most business consultants don’t come from Architectural Experience, haven’t worked in firms, and don’t understand the training and education individuals in the firms have gone through
Understanding of the UniquenessÂ
Some of the largest challenges for firms are understanding capacity with the dynamic nature of projects, the unpredictability, and the fact that no projects are exactly alike. The bespoke service can create challenges in planning the fluctuations in your team’s capacity, making it difficult to find flow in the team, often putting stress and strain on the individuals who feel less in control of their daily schedules.
