We heard common feedback when working with prime AEC firms on projects:
"There are no (or very few) MBE firms qualified to do this work."
BUT, when engaging with smaller specialty consultants, minority-owned (MBE) firms, and other disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), their comments were a direct contradiction:
"Potential clients are unaware that we exist, or worse - they do not believe we are capable of completing the work."
Both of these responses reflect a communication disconnect rooted in a lack of effective marketing.
By closing this gap, PRAXIS strives to remove barriers to competition.

PRAXIS LAND & LABOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT
As a Dallas, TX-based firm, our work takes place on the lands of the Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo), Towakani, Caddo, Wichita, as well as the tribes that may have lived here and roamed the area – including Comanche, Kiowa and Apache—historic Indigenous communities in Texas. In offering this land acknowledgment, we honor, respect, and affirm Indigenous sovereignty, history, and experiences.
In addition, we acknowledge that much of what we know of this country today, including its culture, economic growth, and development throughout history and across time, has been made possible by the labor of enslaved Africans and their ascendants who suffered the horror of the transatlantic trafficking of their people, chattel slavery, and Jim Crow. We are indebted to their labor and their sacrifice, and we must acknowledge the tremors of that violence throughout the generations and the resulting racial, political, social, and justice inequities that permeate the Built Environment.
