The Challenge
As Studio+ expanded in healthcare, senior living, and commercial markets, staffing became a growing challenge.
Hiring graduate architects locally was increasingly costly — with salaries rising and new hires often lacking the real-world skills needed to deliver studio-ready work. Training could take months or even years, stretching both budgets and deadlines.
The firm needed a way to scale production without overburdening project managers or inflating overhead.
The Solution
WorldTeams enabled Studio+ to scale smarter through four key steps:
- Seamless Integration
Remote architects aligned with Studio+’s time zones, workflows, and quality standards. - Immediate Cost Relief
Each WorldTeams member cost 50% less than a local hire, with no added benefits burden. - Risk-Free Flexibility
Scale teams up or down as needed — without HR overhead or long performance processes. - Faster Ramp-Up
Experienced talent shortened training time compared to graduate architects, accelerating productivity.
