Outsourced engineering & design services
A capability partner for architecture, engineering and construction firms, delivering structural detailing, BIM, estimation and design support to the same standards as your in-house team.
01Who we are
We take on the structural detailing, BIM, estimation and design work that slows your team down, and hand it back finished, checked, and ready to use.
Every AEC firm reaches a point where the workload grows faster than the team. Hiring takes months, training takes longer, and software seats and overheads add up fast. Akaritya Consulting exists to close that gap: quickly, affordably, and without compromising on quality.
We work as a silent extension of your studio. Your clients, your workflows, your standards: we simply add capacity behind the scenes, whether that's one drawing package or an entire project's worth of documentation.
Our teams are built around the day-to-day reality of AEC delivery: tight deadlines, exacting codes, and drawings that need to be right the first time. We are set up to plug into your process, not the other way around, across steel, timber, precast and concrete alike. Every team member is proficient across the industry-standard software your projects already run on.
Whether you need a single pair of hands for three weeks or a permanent offshore team for the next three years, the engagement is built around your workload, not a fixed package.
02Services
Every service below is delivered by teams working in the same software, formats and checking process as an in-house department.

Fabrication-ready shop and erection drawings for structural steel, checked against project specs before delivery.

Estimation & design02
Fabrication-ready shop and erection drawings for structural steel, checked against project specs before delivery.
03How you can work with us
Choose the model that fits how your studio actually works: project by project, or a dedicated team that feels like your own.
Model 01
Best for overflow work, seasonal peaks, or one-off projects
You send the drawings or scope. We send back finished, checked work.
Model 02
Best for firms that need ongoing, predictable capacity
A private, offshore extension of your studio, built and run for you.
Not sure which fits? We recommend a model on the discovery call.
Compare the models04Why firms partner with us
No jargon. Here's exactly what you gain by outsourcing this work instead of doing it all in-house.
Once you account for salary, software licenses, workstations and overheads, our clients typically save around half of what an equivalent in-house hire would cost.
Same software, same file formats, same review checkpoints. When the drawings land on your desk, they read like they came from your own team, because they're built to.
Every deliverable is checked against the codes and standards that apply to your project's location and building type. No generic, one-size-fits-all output.
Add or reduce resources within days, not months. Ramp up for a deadline, scale back once it's done, without the cost of hiring and letting go of staff.
Work continues on your projects while your local team is offline, so you often come in to find the previous day's tasks already done.
Every engagement is covered by an NDA, with controlled file access and secure transfer. Your project data stays yours.

05Try before you commit
The easiest way to judge a new partner is to see real work on a real project. So that's where we start.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 01 | Share a sample scope a drawing set, model, or takeoff you'd normally assign in-house. |
| 02 | We assign the right team matched to your software, standards and project type. |
| 03 | We deliver the pilot output up to 20–25 hours of work, completed and checked. |
| 04 | You review it internally against the same standard you'd hold an in-house team to. |
| 05 | You decide satisfied, you pay for the pilot and we move into a full engagement. Not satisfied, you pay nothing. |
06Getting started
The same five steps apply whether you choose project-based outsourcing or a dedicated GCC team.
Step 01
We understand your workload, software stack, standards and where you need help first.
Step 02
We recommend project-based outsourcing or a dedicated GCC team, and agree the scope.
Step 03
Up to 20–25 hours of real work, at no upfront cost, so you can judge quality first-hand.
Step 04
You check the pilot against your own standard. You pay only if you're satisfied.
Step 05
We scale the team to match your pipeline, with a single point of contact throughout.

08Let's talk
Tell us about a sample drawing set, model or takeoff. We'll agree how to share it, then show you what an Akaritya team can do with it, before you commit to anything.
