AB Design Studio Project Management Software Implementation

This case study details the experience of AB Design Studio, an architecture firm, in transitioning from outdated project management methods to a more efficient system. The firm, founded in 2005 and based in Santa Barbara, California, faced challenges with time-consuming Excel spreadsheets and various project management tools that hindered their productivity. The need for a comprehensive project management solution became evident as the firm sought to streamline operations and focus on project delivery. After evaluating options, AB Design Studio adopted BQE CORE, a cloud-based project management and accounting solution tailored for architecture and engineering firms. The implementation of CORE allowed the team to reduce time spent on administrative tasks, improve real-time reporting, and enhance collaboration among team members. The case study illustrates how the adoption of CORE has led to increased efficiency, better project tracking, and a more effective business model, ultimately enabling the firm to deliver high-quality architectural projects to clients.
