Frequently Asked Questions About Outsourcing Architects

What types of architectural projects can your offshore architects handle?

Our architectural professionals have experience across a wide range of project types, including commercial buildings, residential developments, institutional facilities, and mixed-use complexes. They can handle projects from initial concept development through construction documentation and administration.

For growing firms with 50+ employees, we often start with smaller project assignments that allow our architects to learn your firm's specific standards and workflows. As the partnership develops, our teams can take on larger, more complex projects that require coordination across multiple disciplines and stakeholders.

We work with firms across various industries, including real estate development, healthcare, education, and corporate facilities. Our architects adapt to different project requirements and can support both new construction and renovation projects.

How do you ensure quality control and professional standards?

Quality control is built into every aspect of our architectural services. Our professionals undergo rigorous screening that includes portfolio reviews, technical assessments, and project-based evaluations before joining client teams.

We implement multiple quality checkpoints throughout each project phase, including design reviews, coordination checks, and compliance verification. Our project managers maintain regular communication with your team to address any issues quickly and ensure deliverables meet your standards.

All our architectural professionals participate in continuing education programs to stay current with building codes, design software updates, and industry best practices. We also maintain professional liability insurance and follow established quality assurance protocols that support your firm's professional standards.

What is the typical timeline for onboarding architectural staff?

Our standard onboarding process takes 2-3 weeks from the initial team assignment to full project productivity. This timeframe allows your new architectural staff to become familiar with your design standards, project management systems, and client communication protocols.

During the first week, our architects review your firm's project templates, drawing standards, and software configurations. The second week typically involves shadowing experienced team members on active projects and completing practice assignments. By the third week, they can usually handle independent project tasks with minimal supervision.

For firms requiring faster deployment, we can accelerate this timeline by providing architects who already have experience with your specific software platforms or project types. However, we recommend the full onboarding period to ensure optimal long-term performance and team integration.

How do you handle communication and collaboration across time zones?

We structure our architectural teams to provide optimal collaboration windows with your local team. For clients in North America, our Philippine architects often work evening shifts that align with your business hours, while our Colombian professionals work during overlapping daytime hours.

We use established project management platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Asana to maintain continuous communication throughout the project lifecycle. Our architects are trained to provide detailed progress updates and flag any issues that require immediate attention.

For urgent deadlines or complex coordination requirements, we can arrange extended coverage hours or weekend support. Our project managers also schedule regular check-in meetings to ensure all team members stay aligned on project priorities and deliverable schedules.

What are the cost savings compared to hiring local architectural staff?

Our architectural services typically provide 60-70% cost savings compared to hiring equivalent local professionals. This includes not only salary differences but also the elimination of overhead costs like benefits, equipment, office space, and recruitment expenses.

For a typical mid-level architect position that might cost $80,000-$120,000 annually in major US markets, our offshore professionals provide comparable skills and productivity at $25,000-$35,000 per year. These savings allow you to either improve project margins or reinvest in business development activities.

The cost advantage becomes even more significant when you consider the flexibility to scale your team up or down based on project demand. Unlike permanent hires, you can adjust your architectural capacity without the financial risk of layoffs or the overhead of maintaining staff during slower periods.
