We analyze your existing business using your own project data (e.g. Deltek): revenue, labor and margin by service line, office and project type. We map which deliverables and workflows can be automated, what each is worth, and how fast it can be captured. You leave with a prioritized program that captures the fastest margin wins first, a financial case and a leadership team aligned behind it. Automate engineering work and support workflows first agents live by week 12 Turn the plan into working agents which your teams trust, fast. Set incentives and deployment enablers from month 3 Technology does not change a P&L. Behavior does. We work through how leaders, managers and their teams need to change how they work and how they are measured. That includes performance incentives, rollout planning by office and service line, and internal communications that turn early adopters into champions. Track financial impact monthly, from month 4 If it does not show up in the numbers, it did not happen. We track margin improvement and new AI revenue realization against the baseline agreed in Step 1, so you, your board and your investors can see exactly what the program has delivered. Chief Executive Officer AI spend with no financial impact to show for it. Software vendors gaining power over your firm and capturing the value. Being left behind by competitors who move faster. What AI means for the valuation of your firm. Pressure from Board & investors to go further and faster on AI. A financial case by service line before you commit, with impact tracked against it from day one. A program that puts your firm ahead of the market, and a documented AI capability that strengthens your valuation. A technology-agnostic approach that keeps you in control of your vendors, not the other way around. A kickoff session to set margin and revenue targets. Monthly steering meetings with live impact tracking for you and your board. Chief Financial Officer A baseline built from your own project and financial data, and a tracker that links every automated hour to margin or new revenue. Model and tool choices made with run costs in view, so token spend stays in proportion to the value it creates. Controls for data, quality and professional sign-off built into every workflow. Agree the baseline and attribution method up front. Monthly, board-ready financial impact reporting, with AI costs shown alongside the returns. Work with your finance team to validate financial impact. Chief Operating Officer Disruption to delivery. Quality and consistency. Uneven adoption across offices. Client reaction to greater use of AI. Revenue growth targets. A rollout plan sequenced by office and service line. QA/QC built into every automated workflow. Client-facing positioning for AI in your deliverables, with professional sign-off unchanged. Freed-up capacity redeployed into winning and delivering more work. You own the rollout plan with us. Fortnightly delivery reviews. Adoption tracking by office. Chief Technology Officer Keeping control of your own stack and building capability in-house. Vendor lock-in and rising token costs. Agent sprawl across teams and tools. Showing leadership real progress. Limited capacity to enable and support users. Driving adoption beyond the early enthusiasts. A budget that matches the ambition. We build on your stack, alongside your team, so you own the architecture, the agents and the know-how. Clear governance across your AI vendors, to stop agent sprawl and maintain standards. Model-agnostic designs that avoid lock-in and keep token costs in check. We add enablement and training capacity, and new incentives drive adoption across the firm. Hard financial results give you a clear story for leadership and the business case for further investment. A joint team with your IT and digital staff. Regular progress reporting you can take to the executive team. A full handover so your team can run and extend what we build together. Service Line Leader Fee pressure and stretched teams. Client reaction to greater use of AI. Revenue growth targets. Whether AI can handle your deliverables. Quality, liability and professional sign-off. Getting your people to use it. Engineers who know your deliverables design the automation. Agents are built and proven on live projects. Your engineers stay in control and sign off every deliverable. Clear positioning for your clients on how AI is used and checked in their work. Time saved goes back into winning and delivering more work. Working sessions to pick the deliverables worth automating first. Agents built and running on live projects within weeks. Champions in each team, with incentives tied to adoption. Our Approach From AI opportunity to EBITDA impact, in four steps. The SFT Group builds the financial case, deploys the agents and tracks the result. Hoover Dam at dusk From AI opportunity to EBITDA impact, in four steps. We do not sell AI for its own sake. Every program we run starts with the financial case and ends with measured impact on your P&L. Find out what AI is worth to your firm. --- src/pages/CaseStudies.tsx --- Case study 1 ENR Top 100 transportation and environmental engineering firm From AI opportunity sizing to firm-wide rollout. An ENR Top 100 transportation and environmental engineering firm with offices across the US. Leadership saw AI's potential but had scattered experiments, no financial case and no route from pilots to firm-wide practice. Sized the prize: a detailed, service line by service line analysis of where AI could create value, using our proprietary methodology and benchmarks. Identified and prioritized the deliverables to automate first, including Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) and Road Safety Audits. Took the roadmap through executive review, and on into implementation and rollout. Ran a firm-wide, opt-in pilot of AI-powered document review, now moving to a full QA/QC policy change and firm-wide rollout. We worked with the firm's top leadership from day one: regular working sessions with the CTO, an Executive Board away day, and priority setting with the CEO and Chair. AI review is being written into the firm's QA/QC policy as a required step. A 12-month program to roll AI review out across the firm, with quarterly reviews to accelerate. Reduced risk and time savings for senior reviewers. Case study 2 Automating delivery across acquired offices, each with its own legacy processes. Each acquired office brought its own templates, processes and standards. Leadership needed to integrate them quickly, deliver consistently across offices, and capture the margin the acquisitions were meant to create. Automated high-volume deliverables, starting with Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, working within each acquired office's existing processes. Delivered in a 90-day program, with a team across six offices in California and Arizona. Trained staff and set up the workflows to run the agents on live projects, as a template for further integrations. We worked alongside an executive board sponsor for AI and Transformation lead, presented at an AI away day for the firm's top 100 executives, and gave the leadership team ongoing strategic advice and materials to drive adoption. Phase I ESA delivery automated on live projects across acquired offices. A repeatable approach for automating delivery in future acquisitions. Time savings and margin impact being measured as rollout continues. Case study 3 ENR Top 100 geotechnical, environmental, testing and materials firm Aligning a national leadership team behind AI, and deploying it in weeks. An ENR Top 100 geotechnical, environmental, testing and materials firm with offices nationwide. Strong appetite for AI across the business, but no shared view of where to start or how to scale beyond individual offices. Ran an on-site program: a leadership briefing, an all-office presentation, three AI deep dives and hands-on workshops. Deployed AI agents across multiple report types. We worked with the SVP of Transformation on technology stack architecture, AI strategy and incentives, presented to the firm's growth board, and worked with service line leaders to align priorities. 25-40% time savings. Sustained margin improvement expected in FY2027. Case study 4 ENR Top 500 multidisciplinary engineering and environmental firm 33-47% time saving (10-15pp margin uplift) on core environmental deliverables. An ENR Top 500 multidisciplinary engineering and environmental firm with offices across the US and Canada. High-volume environmental deliverables, including wetland delineations and Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, are largely fixed fee. Every hour spent producing them comes straight out of margin. Automated wetland delineation reports and Phase I ESAs, with AI agents built around the firm's own templates and standards. Embedded the agents in the teams' day-to-day workflow on live projects. After a successful pilot, extended automation to further deliverable types. We worked with the CTO throughout, building the program around the firm's existing technology roadmap and priorities, and briefed the executive board. 33-47% time saving (10-15pp margin uplift) per deliverable. Automation now extending to further deliverable types. Case Studies Results at national engineering firms: AI opportunity sizing, firm-wide rollout and 33-47% time savings on core deliverables.
