Welcome to GigBench: Building the Future of AEC Staffing

The AEC industry has a staffing problem that nobody has solved properly. Firms struggle to find reliable talent when workloads spike. Experienced professionals want meaningful project work but face platforms that don't understand their credentials or value their expertise.

GigBench exists to solve both problems.

We're building a vetted marketplace where architecture, engineering, and construction firms can access qualified freelance talent when they need it and where licensed professionals can find legitimate, well-scoped opportunities from reputable firms.

What Makes GigBench Different

Unlike generic freelance platforms, GigBench was built specifically for the AEC industry. We understand project cycles, licensing requirements, and the technical expertise needed to deliver quality work.

Every freelancer on GigBench goes through credential verification. We check licenses against state boards, validate certifications, and review discipline-specific experience. Every firm posting work is vetted for legitimacy. The result is a trusted space where both sides can collaborate with confidence.

This matters because AEC work carries real stakes: regulatory compliance, public safety, client trust. The talent you bring in must meet professional standards, and the firms you work with must be legitimate and reliable.

Who GigBench Serves

Why Now?

The AEC industry is changing. More firms are recognizing that flexible staffing isn't just a cost-saving measure, it's a strategic advantage. And more experienced professionals are choosing project-based work that gives them control over their schedule, project mix, and career direction.

But the existing options don't serve either side well. Generic platforms lack industry understanding. Unvetted talent creates risk. And there's no trusted space built specifically for AEC collaboration.

That gap is exactly what GigBench fills.

What's Next

We're preparing for launch in spring 2026, and we're building this platform with input from the AEC community. Every feature we develop, from credential verification to project matching, serves one goal: creating a marketplace where firms and freelancers can work together confidently.

If you're a firm looking for flexible staffing solutions or a professional exploring project-based work, pre-register to stay updated and get early access.

The future of AEC work is flexible, trusted, and built on real expertise. Welcome to GigBench.
