6 Reasons why subcontracting drafting services might be right for your architectural company:

Unless you are able to keep demand levels up, hiring people can be costly, particularly during unforeseen downtime such as the one we are living in right now. Ending a relationship with employees can be very complicated and uses up both time and financial resources.

Being able to utilize independent services to take on bigger projects can help your operations grow, and this is the reason why we are expanding on the 6 reasons why you should do it!

1. Subcontracting an architectural technician can support architects at any given moment.

Offices may need to reach out to help them either improve their performance, fulfil large demands or use specific software they don’t have readily available.

2. Assist with large projects

If you are a growing company or fortunate enough to be operating past your maximum capacity then you may need help to complete a project. Subcontract architectural drafting services will allow you to take on larger projects.

3. Cost Efficient and Risk Averse

When taking on larger projects there is a very real dilemma of either employing more people and investing in software licenses or using a contractor. Subcontracting can reduce the risk associated with hiring staff by ensuring you are getting a safe pair of hands from an experienced company to help your business. Taking into account salaries and associated costs, you can be looking at a 20 to 30 percent more cost effective solution than hiring full-time staff.

4. Increased Productivity

This is likely to be the biggest benefit of working with a subcontractor. By outsourcing work you can empower your staff to focus on core business needs. This will likely lead to them being able to get critical jobs done faster.

5. No Long Term Commitment

With subcontracting, there will be a level of flexibility that wouldn’t be possible with hiring new staff members. Using a subcontractor will allow you to use the service as and when you need. You will not be required to sign a long-term agreement if there isn’t a need for one.

6. Fewer Legal Obligations

Another consideration is the fact that there are fewer legal obligations when using a subcontracting service. As subcontractors will be running their own business they will not receive the same legal protections as employees. Fewer obligations – coupled with less employee-associated administration – means that it becomes a very attractive proposition.

Is Subcontracting Right for You?

The best thing to do is evaluate your current situation. Once this is done then decide whether you can meet your business demands internally. Speaking to a subcontractor may open up avenues for your business that you didn’t know were possible.
