Design, engineering, and construction services for industrial and commercial facilities
The Austin Company operates a full-service design-and-build practice spanning architectural design, engineering, construction management, and site location consulting across North America, Europe, and Asia. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft-centric (Office, Project, Teams) with construction-specific tools (Revit, Bluebeam, Procore), and the active project list reveals fragmented data challenges: consolidating reports across 8 entities, automating Excel-based workflows, and integrating disparate platforms. This signals operational maturity issues outpacing the current tooling—a common pattern in large, multi-office construction firms managing complex cost estimation and scope-change coordination across disciplines.

Microsoft Project, Procore, Bluebeam, and Revit are core tools. The firm also relies on Microsoft Office suite (Excel, Teams, Outlook) and Egnyte for file management.
