INDUSTRIES

Automation for architecture and engineering firms.

A/E FIRMS

An architecture or engineering firm produces two things: the work, and the paperwork that proves the work. The second one is quietly eating the first. Proposals assembled by hand, status rebuilt for every meeting, reporting that costs a controller his weekend, licenses that expire on their own private calendars. None of that needs a bigger team. It needs a system.

The seams I work.

A/E firms do not need another platform. The platforms are already there: Deltek or Unanet for the books, a PM tool for the projects, email for everything in between. The time disappears in the seams between them, and the seams are where I work.

DELTEK AND THE REPORTING PROBLEM

Vantagepoint holds the numbers and gives them up grudgingly. Firms pay a consultant every time the partners want a different cut of the same data. I build the extraction once: the reports you actually read, produced on schedule, without a change order.

CROSS-PROJECT ROLL-UPS

Project status lives project by project. The view the principals need, every job, every stage, every stall, gets assembled by hand or not at all. I build the roll-up that reads what your systems already know.

LICENSES, PDH, AND CERTIFICATES

Every PE renews on a two-year clock with thirty hours of PDH to prove. The firm's Certificate of Authorization has its own renewal and its own managing-agent rules. Multi-state work multiplies all of it. This is calendar work, and calendars are what systems are for.

PUBLIC-WORK PAPERWORK

Consultant prequalification, requalification windows, and the submittal rhythm of public work all run on dates that do not remind you. Miss one and you are not eligible to bid. A system that watches the dates costs less than the first missed letting.

The proof.

An architecture and engineering firm's controller was losing his week to manual spreadsheet consolidation. I automated the reporting pipeline and handed back roughly a quarter of his time. The rest of the record is on the work page.

How the install runs.

Three phases, same order every time. Diagnose: thirty minutes on your worst workflow, free, and if automation will not fix it I say so. Install: built around the tools you already run, no rip-and-replace. Operate: I stay on it, tune it, and you read the results in numbers, not promises.

Common questions

Deltek is the center of gravity in most A/E back offices, and the reporting complaint is universal. I work the extraction side: getting what is already in the system out of it, on schedule, in the shape the partners actually read. Your Deltek admin keeps their job; they just stop being a report factory.

No. The point is the opposite: read what your existing systems already know and make it visible. If a tool genuinely needs replacing I will say so, and that is rarer than the vendors want you to think.

Your people. Everything runs in your accounts, on your tools, with access you control. I build the pipes; the water stays yours.

It depends on scope, and I will tell you before anything is built. The thirty-minute audit is free, and if the fix is not worth building I will say that plainly.

Give me your worst workflow.
