AgentOps / Business services / Engineering and consulting firms

AgentOps for engineering, architecture and consulting firms

We drive down operating costs and make your team more efficient by handing the repeat work to AI agents, one area at a time, starting with a guaranteed pilot.

Engineers and consultants should spend their hours on client work. Instead they're building proposals, filling in timesheets and formatting reports. We hand that repeat work to AI agent pods, one area at a time.

Use this if you run an engineering, architecture or consulting firm, your experts lose hours to proposals, admin and project paperwork, and you want more billable time without more hires.

In one short call, we map every department, find your 3 biggest time drains, and show what fixing them is worth. Free, and yours to keep.

What you do with the time back

The agents take the repeat work. You decide what your team does next.

Win 1

Grow without hiring

Win and run more projects with the same team. The pods draft proposals and handle project admin.

Win 2

Move good people up

Your experts spend more time on design, advice and clients.

Win 3

Reshape the team over time

As pods take the admin, you decide how to shape the team. No rush.

By department

The repeat work we hand off

This is the work that eats the week in most engineering and consulting. Your Hand-Off Map finds your biggest drains.

Business development

  • Read requests for proposals and pull the requirements
  • Draft proposals and resumes from past projects
  • Track proposal deadlines

Project admin

  • Set up projects and budgets
  • Track hours against budget and flag overruns
  • Write meeting minutes and action items

Document control

  • Name and file drawings and submittals
  • Track RFIs and submittals
  • Format reports from templates

Billing

  • Build invoices from hours and milestones
  • Check invoices against contract terms
  • Chase late payments

Resource planning

  • Build the weekly staffing report
  • Flag people who are under or over booked

HR and admin

  • Track license renewals and training hours
  • Collect project sign-offs

Your people keep the judgment calls. Agents do the repeat steps and hand anything unusual to a person.

Example first pods

Each pod is built around one set of work it runs from start to finish. Your agent division grows pod by pod, beside your team.

Example only. Your Hand-Off Map picks your real first pod.

Step 1

Start with the Pilot

One pod goes live in about 30 days. The before-and-after measure is agreed up front.

Step 2

One pod, one set of work

Each pod runs one set of work from start to finish, and logs every step.

Step 3

Add the next pod

When the first pod proves itself, we add the next one from your plan.

Step 4

Your division takes shape

Pod by pod, they add up to a second division that works beside your team.

Systems

Works with the tools you already use

Common systems we see in this field. No need to switch.

  • Deltek Vantagepoint
  • Deltek Ajera
  • BQE CORE
  • Unanet
  • Procore
  • Bluebeam
  • SharePoint
  • Microsoft Project
  • Autodesk file storage
  • QuickBooks

We check first. Your free Hand-Off Map checks every system you use: can we connect, and can we automate? If the answer is no, we say so and pick a different first pod.

Enterprise value

What it means for your company's value

Buyers of engineering and consulting firms look at billable time, backlog and project margin.

Pods that cut proposal time and admin raise billable time and protect project margin. That shows up in what a buyer will pay.

Step 1Hours back from repeat work
Step 2Lower cost per project
Step 3Higher EBITDA
Step 4Higher company value

Every pod is tracked against a before-and-after measure, so the gain is written down, not guessed.

Questions

Do agents touch our designs?

No. Agents handle the paperwork around the work. Your engineers own the design and the stamp.

Can pods write proposals in our voice?

Pods draft from your past proposals and templates. Your team edits and approves every one.
