How Does Hiring an Architect Located Abroad Work Day-to-Day?

The idea of integrating an architect or BIM specialist from another country can raise logistical questions:

How is the work coordinated? 

Do they really feel like they are a part of the team? 

Is the time zone difference a problem or an advantage?

At WeCollabify, we have perfected an remote-talent recruitment model that makes international collaboration smooth, efficient, and above all a natural extension of your firm.

Here’s how our process works:

Phase 1: Seamless Integration from Day One (Onboarding)

The process begins with a strategic immersion in your firm — not just a simple project introduction.

• Kick-off Meeting: We organize a kick-off meeting with your leadership team and your new professional. The goal is to align expectations, workflows, communication channels, and to familiarize ourselves with your company culture.
  
• Access and Connectivity: We take the lead in securely configuring all necessary access to your servers, cloud platforms (such as BIM 360/ACC), licensed software, and communication tools (Slack, Teams, etc.). On your end it will be as simple as adding a new user.
  
• Dedicated Support: You’ll meet your account manager at WeCollabify someone who is specifically tasked with ensuring the success of the collaboration and is empowered to quickly resolve any concerns.
  

Phase 2: Project Management and Quality Control

After onboarding, maintaining control and the highest standards is essential. That’s why we stay laser-focused on:

• Agile Methodologies: We implement management boards (such as Trello or Jira) where your entire team can view the status of each task, progress, and ownership to ensure total transparency.
  
• Joint Reviews: You lead the design reviews, and our professional will execute them. Feedback is immediate and applied directly into the models, maintaining a single source of feedback and project monitoring in an easily accessible shared cloud.
  
• Quality Assurance: In addition to your oversight, our internal QA team conducts periodic reviews to ensure the work meets not only your specifications but also the required code and BIM standards.
  

Phase 3: Scalability and Tangible Results

Our model is designed to be flexible,results-driven, and something the competition is often lacking, ongoing:

• Progress Reports: You receive periodic reports with clear productivity metrics, project progress, and achieved milestones.
  
• On-Demand Scalability: Need to increase capacity for a critical delivery? We can take everything we have seen and learned about working together to quickly identify and integrate additional specialists into your team within days, not months.
  

Less Hassle, More Productivity

Hiring an architect abroad with WeCollabify is not a leap into the unknown. It is a structured, transparent, and collaborative process designed to empower your local talent and free you from operational burdens. 

In fact, our clients report not only cost savings of up to 45%, but also a 30% reduction in delivery times and significant improvements in quality and coordination of their models.

The end result is simple: your team gains top-level execution capacity, maintains full project control, and accelerates productivity, all while you focus on what you do best: leading design and growing your firm.
