Charlotte, NC, December 19, 2024 — EntreArchitect and Archmark are proud to announce the release of the inaugural EntreArchitect Small Firm Business Pulse Report for Q3 2024. This small firm business report offers an in-depth look at the economic health, challenges, and opportunities facing small architecture firms across the United States. The new EntreArchitect Business Pulse Index (BPI), debuting with a baseline score of 57.8, sets a standard for benchmarking and strategic planning in the small firm architecture community.
“This report marks a pivotal moment for small firm architects and the business of architecture,” says Mark R. LePage, Founder of EntreArchitect and CEO of Gābl Technologies. “For the first time, architects have a resource that highlights their unique challenges and provides actionable data to help them thrive. The BPI is more than a number. It’s a tool for empowering our community.”
Key findings include:
- Lean Staffing Models: Over 60% of firms operate with fewer than three full-time employees,
reflecting both agility and challenges. - Mixed Financial Trends: 37.6% of firms reported increased billings, while 31.2% faced declines,
showing economic variability. - Business Process Weaknesses: Cash flow management and client acquisition remain major
challenges.
Bryon McCartney, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Strategist at Archmark, adds, “The BPI is a
game-changer, giving firm leaders a real-time lens into their industry, empowering smarter, more strategic
decisions.”
