The Real Cost of Undertrained Staff
Most architecture firms don’t have a scalable, consistent way to train junior staff. And let’s be honest - your senior team doesn’t have time to explain redlines again.
Costly Mistakes
Inconsistent training leads to repeated errors, rework, and missed deadlines that eat into your profits.
Bottlenecked Seniors
Your experienced staff are stuck re-explaining tasks instead of moving projects forward or mentoring strategically.
Slow Onboarding
New hires take months to get up to speed without clear, structured training they can follow independently.
Knowledge Gaps
Junior staff struggle with real-world tasks like documentation, detailing, and workflow without practical resources.
