Within 10 years, they expanded through adding specialists in environmental sustainability, education, health and conservation. They have a vibrant mix of professional skills and diverse backgrounds, composed of 65 members including 4 directors, 1 regional director, 7 associates, a number of senior architects, architects and architectural assistances, few technicians, interior designers, FFE consultants, clinical planners and specialists in 3d visualisation, BIM, environmental modelling and BREEAM accredited professionals. They used to have almost no technicians but recently this has changed due to the new use of BIM such as Revit within this 3 years. The trend of the workforce towards BIM is now becoming more centralised and architects and technicians are more integrated in individual team.
According to Ramezani, Avanti has strong understandings of what each member is capable of, and who is responsible for different fields. We can see the clear understanding and bond between each directors and members on their website too. Here, they list the members profiles with specific qualities of each person such as, what they are specialised in, interested in, how their ability played role in certain projects, how their experiences have significant impact to achieve their ethos of the practice and so on. Each director has specific specialised knowledge and experience, for example one has qualification of RIAI healthcare and safety training who's specialised in healthcare, education and residential building with experience of conservation design. One is on the executive committee of Architecture for health and also specialised in sustainable design. Another is a qualified architect and structural engineer who's specialised in environmental sustainability, and one has extensive experience in all aspects of Avanti's work including health, education, conservation and housing. .
Avanti's management of distributing jobs by focusing on the strengths of the specialised directors and deep understanding of members is remarkable.
