WHAT WE DO?
Studio 2.0 provides comprehensive architectural and engineering services with a unique,
round-the-clock operational model. Our services range from initial design conceptualization
to working back-end to update and manage BIM models. Utilizing the 18-hour workday
approach, we offer continuous work flow and specialized task allocation, ensuring that
every project benefits from the combined expertise of our teams in different time zones.
Our service offerings are enhanced by this model, allowing us to address client needs
promptly and efficiently, regardless of their location. This global operational strategy
enables us to deliver projects faster, with innovative solutions born from a fusion of diverse
perspectives. Our commitment to client satisfaction, combined with our unique approach
to project management and execution, positions Studio 2.0 as a leader in delivering high
quality, timely, and culturally rich architectural and engineering solutions.
WHY WE DO IT?
Studio 2.0 operates on the foundational belief that regardless of geographical boundaries,
time is the most valuable asset and collaboration fosters innovation and excellence in
architectural and engineering solutions. Our core purpose is to redefine productivity and
efficiency in the global marketplace by harnessing the diverse strengths and perspectives
of our international teams. We are driven by the commitment to provide unparalleled
service to our clients, ensuring their needs are met around the clock with the highest
quality of expertise. This approach is not just about optimizing working hours; it’s about
creating a harmonious, global community of professionals who bring unique insights and
skills to every project. At Studio 2.0, we believe that the integration of diverse cultural and
intellectual resources is the key to unlocking groundbreaking solutions in our industry.
HOW WE DO IT?
18 HOUR WORKDAY
Studio 2.0 leverages a unique approach to maximize
productivity by utilizing the 18-hour workday across
different time zones. With teams located in Central Time
(U.S.) and GMT+5:45 (Nepal), which are about 12 hours
apart, the company ensures continuous progress on
projects around the clock.
Cultural and Intellectual Diversity
Having teams from different geographical locations
brings diverse perspectives to the table, enhancing
creativity and problem-solving in architectural and
engineering projects.
This approach demonstrates how global collaboration
and strategic planning can add value to our clients.
Continuous Workflow
As one team’s day ends, the other’s begins. This
arrangement allows for a seamless, 18-hour work cycle.
For instance, when the U.S. team finishes their day, they
pass their work to the Nepal team, who then continues
from where the U.S. team left off. This continuous
workflow reduces downtime and accelerates project
completion.
Specialized Task Allocation
Our teams have specialized roles based on their
strengths or time zone advantages. For example, tasks
requiring more client interaction might be handled by the
U.S. team due to their proximity to most clients, while the
Nepal team might focus on back-end work.
Overlap and Handover
There’s a brief period of overlap between the two teams’
working hours. During this time, we can have live
discussions, update each other on project statuses, and
hand over pending tasks. This overlap ensures that each
team is up-to-date on project developments and can pick
up right where the other left off.
Enhanced Coverage for Clients
This model provides extended support hours for clients.
Clients can receive assistance almost any time of the
day, which is particularly beneficial for urgent issues or
international clients in different time zones.
Reduced Burnout, Increased Productivity
By distributing workloads across time zones, each team
works standard hours without the need for overtime,
reducing employee burnout and maintaining high levels
of productivity.
Cultural and Intellectual Diversity
Having teams from different geographical locations
brings diverse perspectives to the table, enhancing
creativity and problem-solving in architectural and
engineering projects.
This approach demonstrates how global collaboration
and strategic planning can add value to our clients.
