FAQs

What is the process of outsourcing architecture & engineering services?

The process of outsourcing architecture and engineering services to the Philippines defines a structured, multi-phase workflow that aligns offshore talent with client-specific project objectives, software standards, and operational timelines. Architecture and engineering outsourcing begins with a targeted consultation phase, where providers assess the client's business model, project scope, and technical requirements, including design complexity, building codes, and preferred platforms such as AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD, or SAP2000. This step identifies the ideal candidate profile, including years of experience, domain specialization (e.g., MEP, BIM, structural), and familiarity with international standards like ISO 9001 or AS/NZS 1170.1. The consultation also establishes the engagement model—whether project-based, time-bound, or team extension—and sets expectations for deliverables, communication protocols, and KPIs.

Outsourcing providers in the Philippines conduct expert recruitment by sourcing and screening candidates from a highly skilled labor pool with engineering and architecture degrees, typically from CHED-accredited institutions(Commission on Higher Education (CHED). Recruiters validate professional licenses, software proficiency, and portfolio quality through technical assessments and behavioral interviews. For architecture roles, candidates are screened for design visualization, documentation accuracy, and compliance with international building codes. For engineering functions, providers test for domain-specific competencies in structural analysis, HVAC load calculations, or electrical circuit design. Shortlisted candidates are presented to the client for final approval, with options for direct interviews or delegated selection through the provider's HR team.

Once hired, Filipino professionals undergo integrated onboarding and are embedded into the client's workflow using collaborative tools such as Zoho, Asana, Trello, Slack, or Autodesk BIM 360. Onboarding includes customised training sessions on client-specific standards, documentation templates, and project management methodologies like Agile or Waterfall, depending on the project type. The provider handles infrastructure setup—hardware, software licenses, and data security protocols—ensuring compliance with GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, or client-specific NDAs. The offshore team operates as a seamless extension of the in-house staff, with performance monitored through regular reporting cycles, productivity dashboards, and quality assurance audits. Engagements are scalable, allowing clients to expand from a single drafter or engineer to a full multidisciplinary team, depending on evolving project demands and budget allocations.
