What's inside

12 metrics that separate
profitable firms from the rest

Most AEC firms are leaving money on the table without knowing it. This checklist gives you the exact numbers to track — and what healthy benchmarks look like.

01 — 03
Utilisation & Capacity
Billable utilisation rate, capacity gaps, and bench cost visibility. Know exactly where your hours are going.
04 — 06
Fee & Revenue Health
Fee realisation, write-offs, and average hourly rate by discipline. Spot where fees erode before invoicing.
07 — 08
WIP & Billing Velocity
Days WIP outstanding and billing cycle length. The faster you bill, the healthier your cash position.
09 — 10
Project Margin Tracking
Project-level gross margin and budget-to-actual variance. Catch overspend while there's still time to act.
11 — 12
Overhead & Benchmarks
Overhead recovery ratio and peer benchmarks for UK AEC firms. Know where you stand against the market.

Why it matters

Most firms don't
know they're
leaking margin

Timesheet gaps, billing delays, and untracked write-offs silently erode profitability on every project. This checklist makes the invisible visible.
