Firm Choices

Season 2, Episode 3

Firm Choices

The business of architecture has never been in a more precarious state. Lower fees, shrinking budgets, higher costs and rising client demands have created a dangerous financial precipice for firms large and small. In return, owners are turning to technology for new methods of efficiency, sometimes betting their very survival on making the right software choice.

To understand the critical decisions that principals need to make, and the confusion that often accompanies it, By Design met with three firms that leverage digital technology and BIM as central to their business success, overcoming a real fear of change along the way.
