Case Study: Durrant Architects achieves firm-wide data visibility and streamlined project management with Deltek

Leading architecture and engineering firm improves data visibility firm-wide with advanced project management software

Durrant, a nearly 75-year‑old architecture and engineering firm with about 300 employees and 11 U.S. offices, faced growing pains as it expanded: project management, CRM and back‑office systems were siloed, estimates and time/expense data were tracked in spreadsheets, and managers lacked timely, trusted visibility into budgets, staffing and project status. The firm needed an integrated solution to streamline processes, improve resource planning and provide real‑time project insight.

Durrant implemented Deltek’s enterprise project management software to unify project accounting, payroll, CRM and resource planning in a single, browser‑based system. The firm now tracks 300+ active projects and pipeline leads, sees daily baselines and workload across offices, shifts resources faster, and has eliminated much manual data entry and clerical errors—resulting in quicker client responses, better cross‑department collaboration and more reliable business and marketing intelligence.
