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.

    Additional Observations from the Deltek / ACEC Financial Performance Study

    By now, I hope everyone has gone through Deltek's Clarity Architecture and Engineering Industry Study, conducted in collaboration with ACEC, on the industry's 2012 financial performance. In further going through the "Statistics at a Glance" section, I came up with some additional information that I found of particular interest: the full cost of people.

                                              Please see attachment.

    [If you still do not have a copy of the Deltek Clarity Study, you can download a free copy on Deltek's website, or on ACEC's website.]
