Built for multi-phase, multi-discipline work

Six capabilities purpose-built for architecture and engineering firms managing complex, phased projects.

Phase-level budgeting

Break every project into phases (schematic design, design development, construction docs, construction admin) with its own hour budget and burn rate.

CAD & drafting capacity

See exactly how many drafting and CAD hours are available across the team before committing to a client deadline.

Fixed-fee margin protection

Scope creep alerts fire the moment a phase exceeds its allocated hours, so you can raise it before it eats the fee.

Multi-discipline department view

Architectural design, structural engineering, interior design, and sustainability teams, all in one utilization view.

Client-ready phase reports

Export phase-by-phase burn reports as PDF, CSV, or Excel for client updates and consultant coordination meetings.

Sign-off before phase close

Every phase closes through a structured approval, so hours are reviewed and accurate before the invoice goes out.

Keep every phase of every project on budget.

From schematic design to construction admin, know exactly where every hour and every fee stands.
