Brindlemark Architects is a fictional mid-size architecture and engineering firm used for synthetic BI analysis. The company story is built around a portfolio of design projects, the delivery phases each project moves through, the architects and engineers who staff them, and the day-to-day flow of time entries, change orders, fees, and billing milestones. Everything here is invented for analytics practice. No real firm, owner, client, staff member, or project is represented.
Operating Profile
- Delivers design work through the standard AEC lifecycle from pre-design and schematic design through construction administration.
- Emphasizes project fee performance, phase budget tracking, staff utilization, change-order pipeline, and billing milestone health.
- Each project carries a lead studio and active client, shows two to eight delivery phases, and bills to match each phase's contracted basis.
- Change orders are raised only while a project is live, and staff cost rates vary by level and discipline, so project margin is a real number.
- Excludes RFIs, submittals, BIM model data, specifications, payroll, accounts-payable detail, and tax filings.
Recent Business Events
- 1Large institutional and civic projects are the executive focus: strong fees but long construction-administration phases.
- 2A push on utilization targets is changing the staffing mix, raising questions about which disciplines run hot and which run cold by month.
- 3Leadership wants one view connecting project fees, phase budget variance, utilization, change orders, and billing health.
KPI Focus Areas
These are the operating questions this kit is optimized to answer first.
01Focus
Billed labor, hours, and labor cost by project, sector, studio, and discipline
02Focus
Phase budget hours and fee versus actuals, with variance by phase
03Focus
Staff utilization and billable versus available hours by discipline and level
04Focus
Change-order volume, value, and approval rate by reason, status, and project
05Focus
Milestone billings and invoice status by project type and phase
Embedded Analytical Stories
Seasonal labor
Billed labor rises through spring and eases around midsummer and the holidays, instead of following a flat line.
Fee waterfall
Phase fees sum to the contracted fee sitting inside the window, so a project fee breakdown adds up.
Portfolio spread
Institutional and civic projects carry the larger contracts while residential and industrial work balances the book.
Change-order pipeline
Owner scope changes add fee, value engineering reduces it, and approval rates differ sharply by reason.
Receivable ageing
Clients pay at different speeds, so invoices age into real buckets and a small disputed tail is written off.
