The problem we solve

We designed our processes to address the most common friction points faced by firms looking for documentation support.

01

Drawings that don't match your standards

Our team of highly skilled architects & engineers adapt to your firm's standards, workflows and processes to deliver consistent documentation. Predictably and in-line.

02

Rework and redlines eating your deadline

Our structured QA/QC processes, backed with domain-specific experience, ensure reduced redlines and review cycles to keep your project moving as per plan.

03

Compliance with International building codes and regulations

Trained in International construction standards & technology, we know to check every deliverable against the relevant codes. No space for discrepancies.

We built The AEC Associates to solve exactly these problems — through process, not promises.

A process built to deliver quality and consistency

Every collaboration we start follows a detailed process to make sure nothing slips through the gaps. From the discovery call to final submission- all steps ensure clarity and quality.

01
Discovery & scoping
30-minute discovery call. We understand and review your project type, timeline, and documentation requirements before submitting scope & fee proposal.
02
Capturing standards
We document your templates, layer conventions, title blocks, and code framework before production begins. Foundation and expectations are set exactly.
03
Production & coordination
Our team produces drawings while tracking objectives, effort, and costs, on your environment of choice(BIM 360/ACC, Bluebeam). Deliverables remain aligned with your scope.
04
QA/QC review
Every set goes through 3-level quality checks, change management, and structured reviews before delivery. Zero exceptions.
05
Delivery & iteration
We deliver files in your required format with documented reviews, status reporting, and project analysis. Feedback is incorporated in the next cycle as needed.

Quality Assurance
Our QA/QC isn't a just a final check — it's built into production at every stage. Three independent reviews happen before any set leaves our team.
Level 1
Self Check
The first audit by the individual ensures accuracy, completeness, and adherence to project standards. It includes verifying modeling practices, scope coverage, annotations, and overall quality.
Level 2
Peer / Team Lead Check
A peer or Team Lead reviews next to validate the work. They check for coordination, technical accuracy, consistency with design inputs, and identifying any omissions/discrepancies missed.
Level 3
Supervisory Check
A senior architect or PM carries out the final supervisory review to ensure the deliverable aligns with project objectives, client requirements, and standards. Serving as the last validation before submission, it confirms the completion of output.

How we can work together

Three models built around how architectural firms actually operate — from overflow documentation to a fully dedicated extended team.

Dedicated (most preferred)
A consistent team, fully aligned to your firm's standards and rhythms. The most scalable, cost-effective model for firms with ongoing documentation needs.
Ideal for
Firms with ongoing production volume who want a true extended-team relationship.
Project-based
Fixed fee per defined scope and deliverable set. Predictable cost, clear milestones, no surprises. Perfect for one-off projects or overflow during peak periods.
Ideal for
Firms evaluating our work or managing overflow on a specific project.
Time & Material
Hourly production guided by your delivery schedule. Maximum flexibility for firms with variable or unpredictable workloads and fast-changing scopes.
Ideal for
Firms needing flexible capacity without a fixed commitment.
