(Note: Due to confidentiality agreements, the client has requested anonymity. The story below reflects the real experience of Mr. J’s collaboration with Aidedo.)

As the owner of a civil engineering company in Tacoma, Washington, Mr. J built his business on service quality and responsiveness. However, as the company grew, he faced one of the most pressing challenges:

❌ Difficulty finding highly skilled engineers in the U.S.
❌ Not enough personnel to meet increasing client demands
❌ High costs and long timelines associated with expanding the in-house team

“My biggest need was having engineers who could work as part of my company. As we expanded, we really struggled to find qualified staff in the U.S.,” Mr. J shared.

He knew that without a solution, the company’s growth would be limited, and the risk of being overwhelmed by the workload would increase.

Aidedo – The Key to Unlimited Growth

Recognizing the potential of outsourcing, Mr. J decided to partner with Aidedo to support his civil engineering work. At first, he wanted to test if Aidedo could truly meet his expectations. But very quickly, Aidedo became a vital part of his technical team.

“Aidedo turned out to be a fantastic solution to help us get the work done. The more we worked together, the more impressed we became with their capabilities.”

Rather than just providing drafting services, Aidedo soon operated like real engineers within Mr. J’s company. The Aidedo team followed his company’s workflow, design standards, and style—and even helped optimize internal processes to ensure project consistency.

Turnaround So Fast… It Required Internal Adjustments

What surprised Mr. J the most was Aidedo’s exceptional speed.

“When we first started working with Aidedo, their turnaround was so fast—it was almost too fast! Sometimes we received drawings before we were even ready with all the input.”

Aidedo’s rapid delivery pace prompted Mr. J’s team to reorganize their internal workflow to prepare project information earlier.

“Now we just plan a bit ahead to ensure inputs are delivered in time—and everything runs smoothly.”

With a partner who could deliver accurate, fast results, Mr. J’s company gained the flexibility to take on more projects without worrying about internal staffing limits.
