Summary:
How architecture and engineering practices deliver meaningful community engagement without eroding fees
Community engagement is now a core expectation on many architecture and engineering projects. Yet for many practices, it remains one of the least clearly defined and most commercially risky parts of project delivery.
This on-demand webinar, delivered in partnership with Architects’ Journal and Fresh Projects, brings together experienced practice leaders to explore how firms can approach community engagement in a way that is thoughtful, effective and financially sustainable.
The discussion focuses on real projects, real constraints and the practical decisions firms must make when engagement work is complex, iterative and difficult to scope upfront.
“Within the scope you are delivering as part of community engagement, there are controllable elements you can price with a fixed fee. But for the fluid, repetitive aspects, a time basis balances both parties’ interests.”
Simon Berry, Founder, Fresh Projects
What You’ll Learn
This session looks beyond theory to examine how leading practices structure, resource and price community engagement work in the real world.
In just under 60 minutes, you’ll gain insight into:
Innovative approaches to stakeholder and community engagement, from trial markets to peer-led research
How to scope and price engagement work realistically, balancing fixed fees with time-based elements
Where community engagement commonly creates scope creep, and how to monitor it before margins are lost
Why post-occupancy evaluation adds long-term value, and how firms resource it effectively
Director-level perspectives on pricing social value work, including what firms have learned the hard way
The conversation is candid, practical and rooted in live project experience, offering clarity many architects say they were never taught formally.
Watch the Recording On-Demand
The full webinar recording is now available to watch on demand.
You can revisit specific sections, share the session internally, or use it as a reference when scoping or pricing future engagement-led projects.

This is for you if...
This webinar is designed for architecture and engineering leaders who are responsible for both project outcomes and financial performance.
It is particularly relevant if you are:
A Partner, Director or Practice Leader in an architecture or engineering firm
Involved in pricing, resourcing or managing community engagement work
Operating in a practice of 5+ staff where engagement work spans multiple projects or stages
Looking for clearer visibility over scope, time and profitability
Keen to deliver social value work without undermining commercial sustainability

What this webinar reveals:
What this webinar reveals:
Community engagement is often discussed in terms of values and outcomes. Far less attention is given to how it is scoped, resourced and priced inside an architecture or engineering practice.
This webinar addresses that gap.
The session explores how firms can deliver high-quality, meaningful community engagement while maintaining commercial discipline. It focuses on the real operational questions practice leaders face when engagement work is iterative, client expectations evolve and fees are under pressure.
Drawing on live project experience, the discussion connects community engagement strategy with fee setting, resourcing, scope control and project profitability, giving practices a clearer framework for making informed decisions.
In just under 60 minutes, you’ll gain insight into:
Fresh methods of stakeholder and community engagement, from trial markets to peer-led research
How to scope and price engagement work realistically, balancing fixed fees with time-based elements
Why community engagement often creates hidden scope creep and how to manage it early
The role of post-occupancy evaluation in delivering long-term social value
First-hand director perspectives on the commercial realities of engagement-led projects
