Maximize Profitability & Elevate Client Satisfaction with More Consistent, Accurate Technical Design Services
After a year of market volatility, during which Architecture and Engineering firms focused heavily on efficiency, recent AIA reports indicated a resurgence in billings. As a result, the priorities for AE firms were shifting. The question was then how firms could maintain the highest standards of delivery yet grow profitability through taking on new work and market share.
That’s where Advancing Design Quality Management came in! Afterall, strengthening your firm’s Quality program remains a proven strategy to help sharpen technical skillsets, reduce risk, and consistently deliver designs that align with client visions and expectations every time.
In Chicago, 150+ Quality and Technical leaders from top AE firms across the US joined together to exchange best practices, benchmark Quality innovations and leave with actionable strategies to optimize their firm’s design workflows and technical skillsets. With speakers from different disciplines and market sectors, attendees were sure to leave with tailored insights and cross-learnings from the entire industry.
