Who We Are

The mission of the AIA Small Firm Exchange (SFx) is to advance the mutual interests of architects practicing in small firms. The objectives of the AIA SFx are three-fold:

1. Advocate the value of small firms, the national SFx, and local SFx groups, both within the AIA and to the public.

2. Curate and disseminate the most pertinent resources and information, from the AIA & elsewhere, that benefit small firms.

3. Inform the AIA of current issues facing small firms and areas in which current resources/information are lacking.

Approximately 75% of all firms within the AIA are small firms (less than 10 employees), which equates to 14,459 small firms within the organization.

~26.8% = sole practitioners = 5,173

~33.5% = 1-5 employees = 6,459

~14.7% = 5-10 employees = 2,827

For context, small firms share of staff is 16.0% and share of billings is 12.0%

We need to find ways to leverage that size for collaboration and influence, just like the individual large firms do.

    130+ AEC/RE firms signed on to a clear, focused recommendation for the Biden Administration relating to climate response and the building industry. It's not too late to add your firm / organization name to this call, by 10 March, for the latest version of the letter.

    If your business or organization is involved in any way in the realm of the built environment (both buildings and infrastructure), we welcome you as a signatory. We want to grow our list of signatories by March 10, and then resend the letter with the expanded signatory list back to the White House to confirm, and punctuate, how ready the buildings and infrastructure industries are to rise to meet the climate challenges associated with our important, but emissions-intensive work. To sign the letter, please complete this form and once you do, please share this post.
