Cash Flow Problems

Most architecture and engineering firms fail due to poor cash flow

75% of firms fail fast

1000 architecture firms launch each year. Three-quarters will fail within three years – mainly due to insufficient cash.

Quotes are complex

Architecture and engineering projects are complex. Inaccurate quotes can cost thousands of dollars.

Projects always change

Projects slip and get rescheduled. Goal posts move and regulatory environments cause unexpected issues.
