The firm serves private and public clients across the Pacific Northwest, the broader United States, and internationally, with named engagements for Microsoft, University of Washington, MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital, Overlake Hospital Medical Center, Skanska USA, NetApp, Bluejay Commercial Development, and the Indian Navy (Seabird Naval Station).

The company operates through a dual-center model: a US Global Center in Seattle (3810 NE 52nd Street, Washington 98105) and an Asia Global Center in Bengaluru, India (ABKJ Infrastructure & Design Solutions Pvt Ltd, TEC Level 7, MFar Greenheart, Manyata Tech Park, established 2011), which together enable a 24-hour production cycle.

ABKJ generates revenue through professional services fees negotiated on a project-by-project basis across healthcare, commercial, residential, educational, transportation/infrastructure, and retail lifestyle segments. Projects are acquired through direct client engagement, repeat relationships with general contractors (e.g., Lease Crutcher Lewis, Korsmo Construction, Sturgeon Electric, AECOM, Sharpoorji Pallonji), industry recognition, and minority-owned business certifications. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the firm has no SaaS, subscription, productized IP, or recurring revenue line, and operates with active hiring in both Seattle and Bengaluru to staff BIM and structural engineering capacity.
