Summary
Details

Most engineering firms don't fail because of bad work-they fail because they never learned how to scale.

If you're a founder in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, you know the challenge: projects pile up, teams grow unevenly, and leadership feels like a constant tug-of-war. Growth brings more stress than freedom, and every ""success"" seems to create new cracks in the foundation.

Engineering Foundations That Scale shows you how to break that cycle. Blending proven business science with real-world AEC experience, it uncovers the leadership, culture, and systems that turn chaotic firms into enduring, high-performing businesses.

Written by a CFO and consultant who has guided engineering founders through transformation, this book connects the dots between psychology, strategy, and scalable practice design.

Inside, you'll discover:

Why most growth strategies look good on paper but quietly undermine AEC founders in practice How hidden cultural patterns and leadership habits create drag long before financial metrics reveal it The critical difference between building projects and building a business that endures A fresh lens for rethinking systems, people, and growth so you can scale with clarity instead of chaos

Whether you're just past startup stage or staring down your next growth ceiling, this book gives you the clarity and confidence to scale right.

If you're ready to build an professional services firm that lasts, start with the foundations.
