The AE Firm’s Profit Powerhouse: Time Management Strategies for Success

Wednesday, August 23, 2023, 3:00 – 4:00 ET
Presented by Douglas Teiger, FAIA, Founder, Teiger Consulting

In architectural practices, time is money. Without proper tracking and allocation of time there is no way to understand and manage profitability on your projects. In this webinar, we will discuss time tracking via buckets, calendar blocking, and how to create the perfect work-life balance.

By the end of this session, you will learn how to:

• Budget time as it relates to the main activities of a project versus budgeting just by traditional phases.
• Budget non-billable time to further analyze how this impacts Firm Profitability.
• Increase work efficiency through Calendar Blocking.
• Integrate a work-life balance with your busy schedule.
