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.

    This year's survey (which I developed) was a collaboration between Deltek & ACEC. We now have AIA's PMKC supporting and collaborating on the 2014 survey.

    This year's survey segments A or A/e vs. E or E/a, size, and (a real highlight) "High Performers" vs. "All Other Firms." It is a great report for starting to benchmark your firm's financial performance (especially vis-a-vis the High Performers).

    Let me know if you have any comments, questions or suggestions. I already am working on getting more balance sheet information into next year's report.
