Why engineering firms operators engage SAZ to improve margins.

Margin is the single best signal of business health and the foundation for valuation multiples. SAZ margin engagements work both sides of the equation — pricing and cost — to move both gross margin and EBITDA margin toward top-quartile bands.

Engineering firms — civil, structural, mechanical, electrical — are professional services businesses with unique constraints: project-based revenue, deep specialization, and complex stakeholder management. SAZ helps engineering firms scale revenue, productize services, and embed AI across project delivery.
