Tie each fee to its stage and each drawing to its revision.
An architecture practice is paid by stage, while drawings keep going out between stages. The practice system ties each fee to its stage, holds a register of every drawing and revision issued, and records site visits on the day they happen. Finish selections are kept room by room. Interiors work uses the interior design product.
Architects are paid by stage: concept, planning approval drawings, working drawings and supervision on site. Drawings are issued as the project needs them, whether or not the previous stage has been settled.
Practice software follows how you issue drawings and bill fees. The drawing register comes first, and the fee schedule sits beside it, so a stage is billed once it is marked complete.
A client brings a site. A fee is agreed as a percentage or a lump sum and split by stage, and concept work begins. Structural, plumbing and electrical drawings come from other consultants, and every set goes through revisions shared by email and message.
Once construction starts, the architect visits site, answers the contractor’s queries and issues revised sets marked good for construction. Approval drawings go to the local authority, which comes back with queries of its own. Fee invoices go out only when a stage is confirmed complete, and that confirmation is often verbal.

Can stage invoices go to our accounting software?
Not built in. Stage bills and receipts can be read in the system, and an accounting export is quoted separately once the ledger names are settled.
Does it replace AutoCAD or Revit?
No. You keep designing in the tools you use. This registers what those tools produce, which revision is current, and who holds that set.
Can it track approval submissions and the authority’s queries?
Yes. The sets lodged, the papers filed with them and the replies sent are held together. Lodging the papers is still done at the authority’s counter or portal.
Can clients and consultants see issued drawings?
Not as standard. Each issued set is recorded with who received it and whether receipt was acknowledged. A limited login for them is something we add at set-up, not a standard screen.
What moves the practice system quotation?
Choosing the drawing register first, or stage fee schedules, or site reports, changes the base most. Staff logins add to offices and partners. A link to file storage can change the total. The drawing register can be priced alone.
Gathering for the practice system: what first?
Bring drawing lists, fee agreements, site visit notes and finish schedules. Design, site work and billing need to be reachable. Scans of site visit notes will do.
Who owns the drawing registers after we stop?
The practice keeps the source code, drawing registers, stage fee schedules and site reports. Plain-file exports cover drawing registers, stage fee schedules and site reports. Builders of the practice system keep supporting drawing registers.
What happens after I share my requirements?
An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
