To outsource or not to outsource?

USA, March 01, 2016: Four out of ten participants of the AEC industry are outsourcing a part or parts of their design development process currently. This upward trend raises a few questions. Are they outsourcing architectural CAD drafting to boost productivity and competitiveness or is it simply another way to cope with a crisis? In the first scenario, both the partners stand to gain in terms of money and time. Outsourcing the CAD drafting and drawing part of the design development process so that the core team can focus on innovation is a smart move. However, the assumption that outsourcing is a makeshift low cost alternative can lead to disastrous deviation in standards and norms. Moreover, question of accountability remains largely unanswered. The attitude behind the choice to outsource is crucial in all scenarios for outsourcing architectural CAD services.

At BluEntCAD, we analyze the attitudes of contractors, homebuilders and architects towards outsourcing before we begin a project. It is important for us to understand why they have chosen to outsource. It gives us clarity in terms of the complexity of the project. It helps us assign members of our team who can help their design development process. It also allows us to create meaningful outsourcing pricing models for our clients.

We understand that each project has its own learning curve and our team of drafters, engineers and architects need to make that extra effort to ensure that client specifications, layering, standards etc. are followed. That's why, our work share processes are defined clearly to give both teams an opportunity to understand one another clearly. At BluEntCAD, this translates into a thorough discussion on lineage, project specifications and work standards. We encourage our clients to visit our facility and meet our people face to face. A strong, ongoing relationship establishes accountability - one of the key factors for BluEnt's outsourcing unit.
