Monograph

🚨 Huge thanks to The Architect's Newspaper for highlighting our BIG NEWS 🚨 🎉 Monograph's 2025 A&E Business Benchmarks Report is LIVE! 🎉 For the first time ever, we've included salary benchmarks alongside our core financial metrics. Now our network of 12,000+ architects and engineers collectively managing $14.5 billion in project fees have access to the industry's most useful benchmarking data (and you can too!). Is your firm above average? Our FREE report reveals salary, revenue, cost, utilization, realization, and cash flow benchmarks. We’ve also included 30 winning strategies to help #architects & #engineers change their numbers and build stronger, more profitable practices. 💬 "When I was an architect, tracking project success was extremely painful. Now, with our 2025 Benchmarks Report, your A&E firm can see exactly where you stand compared to others and better prioritize." – Robert Yuen, CEO & Co-Founder of Monograph 💬 “Benchmarking gives A&E firms the clarity they need to prioritize what to optimize first—whether it’s revenue, costs, utilization, or cash flow. It’s not about chasing every metric but knowing where a small change could lead to the biggest impact.” – Evelyn Lee, FAIA, Founder, Practice of Architecture & Host, Practice Disrupted Podcast But business performance isn't just about tracking numbers. It's about transparency—and the industry is struggling. 90% of architecture and engineering firms are between 1-50 employees, yet they often lack the data they need to succeed. 💬 "I am always surprised by how heavily siloed information is in the architecture industry, especially when it comes to anything regarding money. The result is countless practices relying on passed-down rules-of-thumb... These are not the conditions for a healthy and stable spatial design industry." – Jacob Reidel, Assistant Professor in Practice, Harvard University Graduate School of Design The contrast between high and low performance is stark. Top firms generate over $100,000 more in revenue per employee, work 35% more billable hours, and bill over 100% of their fees compared to low performers. 💬 "If you're looking ahead in your career as an architect or engineer, here's the reality: salary growth won't take you as far as you think. What actually drives real career earnings is learning how to influence profitability." – Robert Yuen, CEO & Co-Founder of Monograph 💬 "Architects are clearly underpaid at all career stages compared to their counterparts in the construction industry and other professional services. This reflects an undervaluing of our profession, partly due to a widespread lack of attention to the business aspects of practice." – Rena M. Klein FAIA, Senior Partner, CVG A huge thank you to our customers, team, and the industry leaders who contributed their insights to this report It's time for radical transparency in our industry. We’ll drop the full link to ArchPaper’s article a little later today in the comments!

Huge thank you to Axios for breaking our BIG NEWS— 🎉 Monograph has raised $20M! 🎉 Since our last round, 6x more customers have joined Monograph.

The industry is moving to Monograph. Fast. Built for A&E projects, Monograph streamlines phase-based budgeting, staffing, billing, and profitability tracking—helping architecs & engineers increase revenue by 21% on average, resulting in over 20x ROI in their first year. 💬 “Monograph has proven its ability to help architects and engineers build more profitable firms.” – Robert Yuen, CEO & Co-Founder of Monograph 💬 ”It has transformed how we manage projects internally, and some of our consultants are already using it.” – Matt Thackray, Principal at Prospect Studio in Jackson Hole, WY But project management isn’t just about internal operations. It’s about collaboration—and the industry is struggling. 74% of A&E firms in Monograph work with external consultants on their projects. 💬 “A&E projects are complicated enough without juggling emails and fragmented tools. A centralized platform like Monograph, which aligns internal operations with client needs, makes our work significantly more efficient.” –Joe Polasik, Principal at BLACKSHEEP Engineering $435B is spent annually on A&E design services in the U.S., shaping $24T in construction spending. Meanwhile, U.S. construction costs have risen 25% faster than general inflation over the past decade! Inefficiency in the A&E industry impacts homes, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure. 💬 “With this funding, we’re transforming how A&E collaboration works in our platform to keep project teams aligned on timelines and budgets—making great design more efficient and more accessible.” – Robert Yuen, CEO & Co-Founder of Monograph 💬 “Monograph is solving real problems for the real economy—the spaces we all rely on start with architects and engineers.” – TJ Nahigian, Managing Partner at Base10 Partners A huge thank you to our customers, team, and investors for making this possible. And we’re just getting started!

Architects, how would you answer this question?

Relatable to all architects 🙃

Staffing for architecture firms: Old way vs New way... Old way is using manual processes, lots of spreadsheets, and outdated systems. New way is using Monograph's embedded approach with proven results. Firms using Monograph plan and staff projects 67% faster and improve efficiency by 21%. That's a lot more time for: - Designing - Hitting Deadlines - Staying on budget And a lot less: - Overtime - Missed Deadlines - Budget Overage Hit the "Get Started" button on our website to see for yourself!

Architecture ISN'T easy! What's the HARDEST thing about being an Architect? - Getting your foot in the door before you have experience… - Managing every project complication from start to finish… - Explaining regulations to clients and avoiding their "shortcuts"… How would you answer? --- Thanks to these folks for giving a voice to what architects feel: - Cooper Moore AIAS, NOMA, Assoc. AIA, GRP - Bruce Turner, AIA, Principal Architect - Lisa Kalaher, AIA, NCARB, Principal, PLaN Architecture

Disagree? What's the hardest thing about being an architect? Business development and office administration. - Taylor Purser, Senior Designer, Corgan The different skills and programs that we all learn are not required for everyone. - Madeline Wentzell, Associate AIA A lot of what we do is driven by the funds that come with every project. - Alya Staber, Associate, Jones Architecture, Inc. How would you answer?

Managing your architecture firm doesn't have to be so complicated
