This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. In today’s evolving architectural landscape, firms face increasing pressure from economic volatility, talent retention challenges, and shifting client expectations. This webinar explores how benchmarking empowers architecture leaders to meet these challenges with clarity and confidence.

We’ll walk through key findings from the newly released 2025 Architecture Benchmarking Report, built on real performance data from over 2,000 A&E firms and 46,000 active users. You’ll learn how firms are setting meaningful performance targets, tracking progress, and using benchmarking to guide smarter, faster decisions.

With two years of data, we’ll also explore emerging trends and how leading firms are using insights from tools like BQE CORE to drive measurable results, including higher revenue per FTE, increased profit percentage, and year-over-year revenue growth. Whether your goal is to improve operational efficiency, support long-term planning, or gain a competitive edge, this session will give you a practical framework for applying benchmarking in your own firm.

This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. Are you tired of watching your fees shrink as your expertise grows? Does it feel like the better you get at architecture, the less money you make per project? You're not alone—and you're not stuck.

This webinar challenges the conventional wisdom of hourly and percentage-based fees that most AE firms have been trained to follow. This interactive webinar reveals a more powerful approach to pricing that aligns with the actual value you create for clients, not just the time you spend or the construction costs you influence.

In this 50-minute session, you'll discover why traditional pricing models punish efficiency and reward inefficiency—and learn a proven framework for breaking free from the "efficiency penalty" that's keeping your firm trapped in a race to the bottom. Whether you're a firm owner looking to improve margins, a principal tired of competing on price, or an architect planning to start your own practice, this webinar will fundamentally change how you think about your value and your fees.
