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. An Employer Of
Record for your business journey Looking at the
benefits and flexibility of working remotely, it
is likely to become a favourable business
expansion model for most SMEs. You might already
have an action plan in mind. If not, you might
want to take a look at India as a destination
for your business expansion. With favourable FDI
policies, and a large pool of talented
individuals with a strong technological
background, India ticks all the boxes and is best
suited for building remote teams.
