Integration Opportunity Puchlik Design Associates merged into HED as of early 2020, signaling a potential cross-sell to HED's broader client base and access to larger project backlogs.

Tech Stack Alignment Current technologies (Drupal, CivicTheme, Nginx, Modernizr, jQuery) suggest opportunities to optimize or migrate digital platforms for architecture firms and to leverage HED’s digital capabilities across combined teams.

Financial Scale With reported revenue in the range of 1M to 10M and a small team, there may be ripe for service expansion, support packages, or premium design tooling managed under a larger firm umbrella.

Market Positioning As part of a larger global architecture and planning network, there is potential to position enhanced branding, case studies, and marketing services to compete with mid-to-large cap firms in targeted sectors.

Growth Levers The official move to hed.design indicates a transition phase with branding opportunities, website modernization, and integrated marketing campaigns ideal for BD outreach and partner alliances.
