Industry Insights & Significant Developments

Building a Solid Foundation

Frisco's AEC industry is setting the pace for pro-growth cities. With a focus on meeting the needs of a growing population, the sector not only adapts but innovates. Offering a range of services, AEC is critical in developing  Frisco's infrastructure, from the high-rise and office buildings to the luxury homes and billion-dollar entertainment venues.

Promoting Collaboration Across Various Sectors

This industry includes a number of subsectors, such as consumer goods and products (furniture, fixtures, lighting), health care (medical facilities, data centers), and environmental design (community parks). As some of the growth in this industry is home-grown, the remainder is attributed to brands and companies that have relocated to or expanded in Frisco. No matter the origin, there is seamless synergy across all fronts.

Pushing the Boundaries

Serving as its own innovation hub, the AEC industry continuously shares information and knowledge, and adopts technology and communication advancements. Innovations and upgrades like artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) methods, are enhancing business efficiency and helping to create a whole new Frisco.

Fast fact: Because construction and engineering was deemed essential in Texas during the COVID-19 pandemic, the AEC industry was among the fastest-growing industries in Frisco.
