Memphis Business Journal Features designshop - Projected Growth for Architecture Firms in 2022

Featured in the Memphis Business Journal, designshop partner, Scott Guidry, discusses the challenges and successes that resulted from the COVID-19 Pandemic. While the pandemic presented many difficulties for us to navigate as a firm, designshop now finds itself in a much better position today than it was before.

Throughout the pandemic, the greatest challenge for designshop was dealing with material and labor shortages. It became difficult to keep a project moving forward when facing these challenges. Thus, favorably navigating relationships between clients and contractors became the key to the success of a project.

In addition to supply chain issues and labor shortages, designshop had to re-evaluate the projects we were seeking. Prior to the pandemic, designshop focused primarily on retail and multi-family housing projects. However, due to a decrease in projects available within the retail and multi-family housing sector, we were forced to rethink our scope of work.
