The AEC project delivery specialist deepens its commitment to the US market with a permanent presence in Texas
Away Digital, the project delivery partner to architecture, engineering and construction firms, has opened a dedicated office in Houston, Texas. The move marks the next phase of a US expansion that began in late 2024 and reflects growing demand for Away Digital’s dedicated team model among firms across the US.
Away Digital’s entry into the US was led by client demand. The organization’s model – dedicated offshore teams of documentation specialists, BIM technicians, estimators and visualizers embedded into architecture practices, engineering firms and construction contractors – had already proven itself across Australia over more than a decade.
The initial US presence established in 2024 confirmed what the business had anticipated: the underlying pressures facing US firms – tight labor markets, rising domestic employment costs, growing project pipelines and the need to scale delivery without proportional headcount growth.
Houston presented itself as the natural next step. The city is one of the most active construction markets in the United States, with sustained demand across commercial, industrial, energy, infrastructure and residential sectors. The Texas market more broadly represents a concentration of the kinds of firms Away Digital serves best: mid-to-large practices with complex project pipelines and a clear interest in more efficient delivery models.
“We’ve been watching the Texas market closely since we first entered the US. The scale of construction activity here, the mix of sectors, and the appetite among local firms for a smarter approach to delivery made Houston the obvious place to put down roots.”
Gary Blieden, Director
The office gives Away Digital a permanent local presence for business development, client engagement and relationship management in the US South. It positions the business to work more closely with Texas-based architecture, engineering and construction firms, and to support the growing number of US clients who want a local point of contact alongside their offshore delivery team.
Away Digital’s service offering in Houston mirrors what the firm provides gâlobally: dedicated teams working exclusively for a single client, structured around that client’s projects, standards and workflows.
Away Digital is an Australian-owned, Vietnam-delivered partner to architecture, engineering, homebuilding and construction firms across Australia, the US and internationally. Founded in 2013, the business provides dedicated offshore teams across documentation, 3D modeling and BIM, estimating, visualization and VDC. With over 600 specialists and a 90% staff retention rate, Away Digital supports clients ranging from boutique practices to large multi-disciplinary firms managing complex, multi-sector project pipelines.
Every time a project changes hands, something gets lost. A modelling package is completed and passed on. Documentation moves to a different team. Estimating is picked up by someone who wasn’t in the room when the key decisions were made. Each handoff looks minor. But with every transition, context thins and standards drift. By the […]
A drawing set may look complete, but if the fundamentals haven’t been checked, it will cost time, budget, and credibility downstream. The following ten checks represent the core of our internal QA workflow, the same structure our remote teams use before any documentation set is issued to design leads, consultants, or clients.These checks are technical, […]
If you’re in the AEC sector, there’s no doubt you’ve faced issues with internal or external resourcing. Issues related to talent shortages, rising delivery pressure and the strain that unpredictable pipelines place on teams already stretched by recruitment delays. What you may not have spoken about (kudos if you have) is continuity in your delivery […]
