Project management

Plan, schedule, and monitor architecture projects across every phase. Link project milestones, budgets, and resources with the latest drawings and specifications so tasks and deliverables always reflect current design decisions.

Advanced billing

Automate invoicing for fixed-fee, time-and-materials, or milestone-based contracts. With data flowing directly from project milestones, time entries, and change orders, retainers and adjustments update instantly to speed payment cycles.

Resource management

Assign staff based on skillsets, availability, and workload. Forecast demand, review utilization, and match assignments to project phases and timelines to optimize capacity, head off burnout, and resolve bottlenecks before they impact delivery.

Dashboards and reporting

Access firmwide or project-specific information in real time. Customizable, role-based dashboards analyze and display KPIs for early detection of trends and risks.

Document management

Securely store drawings, specifications, and project files while managing versions, access, and sharing with teams or clients. Maintain design software outputs, budgets, schedules, and contracts together for organized, auditable records.
