We break the business of architecture, engineering, and construction down to basic building blocks (like Lego) and show you how to assemble them for success.
Because traditional school didn't.
Being an Architect, Engineer, Contractor is not what it was just 20 years ago. Today, society treats AEC professionals as commodities. Business leaders, teams, and professionals are in a chaotic state, trying to save their firms, jobs, and titles.
Our industry has been commoditized.
theaecbusiness.com gets owners, leaders, and teams laser-focused on simple actions that create big reactions. You won't find our students competing on price or frantically posting on social media. You'll find them doing, not talking.
theaecbusiness.com provides you with what you need to succeed in business.
No lecturing — we provide an environment and building blocks so you can build and play.
Get our playbooks and apply practical processes that are proven to work and track your progress using reliable metrics.
Your ability to grow is heavily influenced by your environment. Surround yourself with community, accountability, live Q&A's and mentorship.

Real people supporting you, because no matter how good the training is, you'll always have questions. 24/7 community and direct support in weekly meetings.
Many programs are based on abstract goals – we focus on tangible results. Our students aim for, optimize and achieve the real-world result.
Learning requires feedback so leaders can measure progress and iterate actions to improve. Our students get live feedback from the market.
Traditional schools and online programs teach a specific skill like design or marketing, this creates naive AEC Leaders and teams who don't understand the whole. To succeed in the AEC business you need to learn the "full stack" — five interconnected layers built on top of each other
1 Knowledge of self — Identity, purpose, habits, beliefs
2 Mental cognition— Focus, plan, prioritize, problem-solving
3 Business principles— Frameworks, concepts, models
4 Business disciplines— Strategy, operations, biz dev, marketing
5 Business processes— Tools, systems, workflows, metrics
