When asked what percentage of their workforce could effectively work from home, the industry average was 71 percent. When analyzing this question by firm type and condensing the groups to our three main areas, the expected gap between the percentage reported by architecture firms (76 percent) and engineering firms (72 percent) relative to construction firms (38 percent) is clearly displayed.

A s we wrap up our ElevateAEC conference season, one thing really stood out: We are operating in a historic climate in the AEC industry. With industry performance metrics breaking records, we continue to defy expectations. Our in-person ElevateAEC conference in Denver provided an environment where you could feel the buzz around beating those expectations. The elements of networking, learning, and celebration were charged with an energy many had been saving for two years. But beyond the excitement of the return to the red carpet, there was so much more to feel good about. We serve in a great and stable industry, one rich with purpose and sizzling performance. To put a cherry on top of the event, the House approved the infrastructure bill late on the last day of the event, further fueling optimism for 2022 and beyond.
