PEO for Architects and Engineers
                     The Benefits of Working Remotely for  
Architects and Engineers
Remote working has become a trend of the decade and it is an excellent 
way for  businesses to grow. This transition of various industries and 
services to remote  working was relatively easy and continues to be. This 
can be attributed to  numerous factors such as increasing connectivity 
and communication, flexibility,  and lastly, the technological boom!
With no language barriers and connectivity overseas, any service startup 
or SME  can adapt to a remote working model for business expansion. To 
get started with  working in remote teams and dealing with all the 
compliance-related processes, an  employer of record is anytime the best 
choice!
Let us understand how various architectural and engineering industries 
have  adapted to remote working. We will also give a snippet on how an 
employer of  record (EOR) or an International PEO company can be your 
key to business  expansion.
A look at the established industry in the remote world
When we think of engineering or architectural services, we imagine a 
typical 9 to 5  desk job working on their theme and basic designs. But 
these services are no  longer staying put and have become location 
independent. Employees are  travelling, exploring, and connecting with 
different cultures and destinations and  working remotely on their designs 
and themes. This allows designers, architects,  and engineers to come up 
with innovative ideas in line with the location they are  required for.
The remote system of selecting talent over the location and choosing co-
creation  over competition along with focusing on quality and flexibility 
rather than just  productivity of employees is something that will stay for 
long globally.
Can architects work remotely?
How can something requiring physical monitoring, switch to remote 
working? This  is a question that arises when we think of architects. There 
is always more to their  work than just directing workers on the model 
sites.
Architects in the remote world visualize their models and design them 
without being  actually at the site. Innovation and collaboration are at 
their peak while working  remotely. Construction prototypes are also 
designed from the scratch in the comfort  of their homes or studios.
The rise of remote engineering design services
The preconceived notion that only IT services can achieve high 
productivity in the  remote setup has changed. Engineering services such 
as data mining and  analysis, product designing, and development, 
reverse engineering, and other  computer-aided engineering technologies 
have marshalled ahead and made  drastic progress in the remote setup.
Major engineering consulting and services giants such as TCE, Emerson, 
ZS  consultants went head straight with the remote working model and 
have shown  drastic growth. Now, well into the COVID-19 pandemic, these 
major players are still  working remotely in India and many other 
locations.
Basically, the day-to-day functions of engineers have remained the same 
while  working remotely. The way the functions are delivered and the 
monitoring of
productivity and quality is different. Booming apps and tools have 
connected the  dots and helped in the smooth sailing of engineering 
design services.
For instance, Google workspace has made collaboration and sharing of 
tools  easier than ever. With its functions like sharing folder and 
documents,  communication feature through messaging, and creation of 
meeting invites,  engineers have found a way to work in collaboration 
from any part of the world!
Another tool that is used alot by engineers is Jira. It is an efficient software 
for  working remotely, especially for tracking the workflow of various 
services and  products and for project management.
How are structural designing services adapted to working  
remotely?
For designers specifically, remote work has been a great way not only to 
maintain  their sanity but also their productivity levels during stressful 
times like the  COVID-19 pandemic. It provided flexibility for completing 
their projects on time  while still giving them space and clarity.
Though it looks challenging for employees from the construction sector to 
adapt to  remote working, the structural engineers have made it work! 
Virtual site visits  through online meetings were a big change. In addition 
to this, tools such as  Facetime, Slack, Facetime, and Whatsapp have 
helped keep clients, contractors,  and designers in the loop regarding 
project updates. Sketches, designs, and  patterns to be shared globally 
were unimaginable a decade back, which is now a  norm in the majority of 
companies.
