AIA Small Firm Compensation Report

Coming in late 2023: the newly updated 2023 AIA Small Firm Compensation & Benefits Report.

It’s the third edition of the AIA Small Firm Compensation Report, dedicated to the unique needs and structure of small architecture firms, defined here as those legally structured as sole proprietorships (regardless of number of employees) and architecture firms with fewer than three architectural staff employees.

This report includes data on compensation trends, employee demographics, trends in pay practices (e.g., bonuses, salary premiums for licensure), and details on employee benefits offered by small firms, as well as 24 detailed compensation tables broken out for six positions by firm type, firm revenue, region of the country, and more.
