Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Architects who deliver technically resolved buildings in mission-critical sectors — hyperscale data centers, FGI healthcare, cGMP life sciences, and advanced manufacturing — from schematic design through construction administration. Licensure, Revit execution, and permit-set quality verified before you see a resume.
A structured process for the architect hire — where sector portfolio, code depth, and CA discipline decide whether the drawing set survives contact with the field.
30-minute call. Align on building type, project phase (SD/DD/CD/CA), licensure and NCARB requirements, Revit standards, studio vs. owner-side seat, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Architects with sector-matched built portfolios. Registration is verified and references from prior design directors and GC partners are included.
Interview, select, and make the offer with market comp data in hand. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee — on every engagement model.
Every Architect on the shortlist has built work on demanding program types — data halls, inpatient towers, cleanroom suites, fabs — not just speculative commercial fit-outs.
Active registration verified, NCARB record confirmed where multi-state mobility matters, and IBC, NFPA, and FGI code pathways probed in interview — not taken from the resume.
We reference-check submittal and RFI turnaround, site presence, and field coordination with the GCs and owners they actually served — the phase where architect hires fail.
Active state licensure verified at the source; NCARB record confirmed where reciprocity matters.
Built work in your building type — hyperscale halls, FGI inpatient, cGMP suites, semiconductor support space.
Model authorship to LOD 350, BIM 360/ACC collaboration, family and sheet standards under deadline.
IBC, NFPA, FGI, and energy code fluency; permit-set quality and AHJ negotiation history referenced.
MEP and structural coordination discipline; clash ownership and design-freeze behavior verified.
RFI and submittal cycle times, ASI discipline, and jobsite presence verified with builders.
We’ll help scope the role on the call — building type, phase coverage, licensure, and studio vs. owner-side seat.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement is typically 3–5 weeks. Niche portfolios — cGMP suites, semiconductor support buildings — can add a week of sourcing.
Pricing depends on the engagement model. A single hire typically runs through recruiting support; leadership roles through executive search; multi-hire design-team programs through embedded recruiting or RPO. We scope the model on the first call.
In the US market, licensed project architects typically earn $95,000–$130,000 base; senior and technical architects $125,000–$165,000; studio and design directors above that. Data center and life-science portfolios command a premium, and ranges shift by metro.
For architect-of-record and stamping seats, yes — registration is verified before introduction. We also place strong job captain and architectural designer profiles on the licensure track when the seat allows it.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, on every engagement model — search, embedded, or RPO. If the hire does not stick, we replace them.
Yes. Multi-hire studio and owner-side design builds — architects, project architects, BIM staff — route through embedded recruiting or RPO.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the Architect role, building type, phase coverage, licensure requirements, and reporting structure — then start sourcing.
