Redesigning your organisation to meet the needs of the business
IN ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING, PROJECT MANAGEMENT
AND CONSTRUCTION
You’ve delivered successful projects, built a reputation and the business is growing.
But as your business develops, you may be faced with challenges around structure, systems, processes and ways of working that you haven't had to deal with before. Responsibilities become less clear, communication becomes more complex and it can start to feel as though you're losing control.
A STRUCTURE consultation helps you review and refine the way your business operates, ensuring it is fit for purpose today and able to support future growth.
Designed specifically for sole practitioners and small businesses in the built environment, STRUCTURE provides an opportunity to step back and take a closer look at how your business is organised through a series of customised meetings and workshops with business owners and key team members.
We start with an initial meeting to understand your challenges and objectives. Next, we review your current structure, systems and ways of working through a series of facilitated discussions and workshops. Finally, we help you identify practical improvements and agree a structure that supports your business now and in the future.
Office Structure Design
Example of Building Blocks
The outcomes of a STRUCTURE consultation will vary depending on the brief. But typically, you can expect:
A practice structure that reflects your business in terms of organisation size, culture, values and project design approach
A practice structure that allows the business to grow and diversify in the future
Clearly identified areas of responsibility for running a practice (overheads) and projects (fee earning)
Practice specific systems that allow for effective working and on-boarding of new team members
Systems in place that create efficiency and ensure projects are completed on time

“Britta was in charge of restructuring the architectural practice after the practice had doubled in size and the management team was faced with problems that were unusual to our practice before. Britta led us throughout six months of constant work, helping to establish new practices and policies, gracefully managing to accommodate and mediate different views from all the directors and associates involved. I highly recommend her work!”
