As the design and construction industry increasingly becomes a global marketplace, many firms are seeking to expand their geographic reach. We work with them to develop smart strategies for geographic growth. Often it means establishing new offices. 
 
Making Informed Decisions 
Ultimately, given the effort and investment required to establish a new office, there should be reasonable assurance that this move will enable a company to expand its business. In order to help company executives make informed decisions, we often conduct research to evaluate:  
• the outlook for a targeted market sector in a 
   specific region;  
• the strength of the competition in the region; and  
• the willingness of potential clients to consider new  
   companies entering the marketplace.  
 
Deciding on the Right Strategy  
Among the important decisions is whether to move key people from the existing office(s) to the new location, or to hire locally to take advantage of current client relationships. Yet another option is to make an acquisition.  
 
We advise our clients on the strategy that is best for their situation. We can also help with implementing the strategy, from introducing individuals who can open a new office to finding acquisition opportunities.
