Not all of Vee Technologies’ AEC studios are equal – some operate at higher levels than others. In order to improve all AEC studios across the board, it makes sense to study the high performers and determine why they are working so well. With the knowledge gained, it can be applied to our existing and new studios to ensure they can become high performers as well.
High-Performance Delivery
High-performing AEC studios nearly always contain the following attributes:
- Having a highly experienced Team Leader with a long tenure in AEC
- Maintaining a motivational and knowledgeable team
- Maintaining desire for both learning and success
- Bonding on more than just a work level
- Quarterbacking the client experience; clients want added value and an exceptional experience
- Sharing of knowledge and best practices
- Answering all questions, solving their problems and establishing credibility with the client.
- Utilizing the proper candidates, architects for architectural work, MEP engineers for MEP work, etc.
- Ensuring the studio is set for success with all software and hardware ready along with the appropriate licenses timed for the start date
- Leveraging the power of video
- Tracking success. “If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.”
- Communication, communication, communication

Once we have a suitable candidate, they receive an extensive coaching session on everything they may encounter before they engage in the client/candidate interview. Note that we are fitting the skills of the candidate to the needs of the client rather than putting just any random worker in the studio.
Establishing a high-performing studio means that it must have a voice. A particular candidate is chosen to be the team leader and he or she must set up communication channels between the India studio and the client’s studio. It has been determined by experience that a Senior Manager from the client must be involved to give stability to the India studio. A good team leader will then establish positive rapport with both the U.S. and India teams. The management of the teams’ projects and timings are then conducted by the AEC studio manager.
This is the make-up of a typically high-performing studio:
Putting this new approach into effect will increase the quality of Vee Technologies’ studios, while increasing client appreciation.
