While the creative element of an architect’s work can seem very appealing to many considering a career in this field, some may not realize that architects carry significant liability when it comes to ensuring that their design is sound to meet code requirements, fulfill the vision of their clients, and be safe and comfortable for all occupants. Engaging Rutwind Brar, architects can be best assured that they are protecting their own assets as effectively as possible while building their career and reputation in their industry.

Staff Retention & Incentive Strategies
Preventing turnover within your business is both a cost efficiency measure as well as a strategy that ensures that your clients will be greeted by a consistent slate of personnel with whom they can build a rapport over time. Creating incentives that encourage employees to stay with your firm and feel rewarded is a service that we can offer to our architecture professionals. These could include deferred compensation plans, RRSP savings, and direct or indirect stock options with the company. Each of these retention strategies are designed to connect your valuable team members to the firm but are subject to forfeiture upon their exit from the company.
Project Budgeting and Monitoring
Client needs are often very similar – they want a top quality product at the end of the project, but they want to ensure that the pencil has been kept sharp throughout to maintain expenses at a minimum level. We can help you to identify solutions that monitor and manage project costs, employee time and the efficiency of tasks being performed by your team.
