New research from Quire, the leader in Technical Report Management, reveals that while the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries, commercial real estate sector, and environmental consulting organizations faced significant challenges in 2023 and are still grappling with labor shortages, they are bullish on their 2024 prospects for solid growth.

DOYLESTOWN, Pa., Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Quire Research Reveals Businesses in the AEC, Commercial Real Estate, and Environmental Consulting Industries Optimistic about 2024, Face Continuous Labor Shortages, and Anticipate Technical Report Volume to Escalate

New research from Quire, the leader in Technical Report Management, reveals that while the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries, commercial real estate sector, and environmental consulting organizations faced significant challenges in 2023 and are still grappling with labor shortages, they are bullish on their 2024 prospects for solid growth.

"Given the tight labor market, it's more important than ever to streamline, automate, and accelerate the technical report and commercial proposal development and delivery process as well as optimize business workflow performance."

Post this

The January 2024 survey of more than 200 of Quire's AEC, commercial real estate, and environmental clients and contractors also indicated that client organizations currently produce between 1,000+ and 10,000+ paid deliverables annually. Survey respondents anticipate that number to grow by 5 to 10 percent in 2024, resulting in a heightened demand for hundreds to thousands more paid deliverables.

"Our recent research signaled that AEC, commercial real estate, and environmental consulting executives struggled with heightened competition, economic headwinds, and recruitment challenges over the past year. Looking ahead in 2024, however, they are optimistic about the prospects of strong growth," said Chris Connell, Chief Executive Officer of Quire.

"This anticipated growth will bring an increased demand for paid deliverables," added Kelly L. Stratton, Quire founder and President. "Given the tight labor market, it's more important than ever to streamline, automate, and accelerate the technical report and commercial proposal development and delivery process as well as optimize business workflow performance. We look forward to collaborating with our clients this year to enhance their technical report and commercial proposal throughput, ensure higher-quality deliverables, and drive top-line growth."

From environmental site assessments to geotechnical reporting to construction progress monitoring across thousands of users, the Quire Technical Report Management® platform reduces report and proposal development time by as much as 70 percent. The innovative platform also provides comprehensive analytics for data-driven resource and workflow decision-making, helping improve the bottom line. In 2023, Quire clients delivered 195,000 technical reports and commercial proposals through the platform, and with the expected increase in 2024, the company expects this number to grow significantly.
