Recurring Billing Software for Architecture Firms
Architecture fees are typically structured as a percentage of construction cost, billed monthly across project phases that can span years. AgencyPro calculates monthly invoices based on the fee schedule and project phase percentage, adjusts billing automatically when construction budgets change, and tracks payments against the total contracted fee so you always know how much revenue remains on each project.

Built for Architecture Firms
Architecture firms rarely bill on a pure monthly subscription, but those offering ongoing facilities management or design consultation retainers need billing tied to scope tiers and annual escalation clauses. Converting phased fees based on project milestones (schematic, DD, CD, CA) into predictable monthly revenue requires automated payment cycles, so your architects, designers, drafters, and project managers can focus on managing long-duration projects with multiple design phases, regulatory approvals, and coordination with contractors instead of chasing invoices.

Why Architecture Firms Need Better Recurring Billing
Architectural practices managing design phases, client presentations, permit processes, and construction administration.
An 18-month project with phased billing across Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, and Construction Administration — missing one monthly progress invoice creates a cash hole that threatens consultant payments
Estimating percentage-of-completion for each active phase is subjective, and manual calculations consistently produce billing amounts that don't match actual project progress
Reimbursable expenses — large-format printing, permit applications, structural engineering subconsultant invoices — accumulate over months and get buried before they reach a client bill
General contractors expect AIA G702/G703 payment applications, but assembling them manually every billing cycle takes your project manager hours they don't have
How Architecture Firms Use AgencyPro Recurring Billing
Automated subscription and retainer billing with payment processing, dunning management, and revenue recognition.
Produce AIA G702/G703 payment applications automatically from completion percentages you enter each month, with previous billings and balance to finish pre-calculated
Track actual progress against the fee distribution for SD, DD, CD, and CA phases and calculate the correct billable amount per phase per cycle
Queue reimbursable expenses as they occur — plotting, permits, consultant invoices — and batch them onto the next monthly progress bill as itemized line items
Distribute large project fees across monthly installments for clients who prefer predictable payments, while your firm still tracks fee burn by phase
Key Benefits for Architecture Firms
AIA Standard Payment Applications
Automate recurring billing using AIA G702/G703 payment application formats that clients and general contractors expect. Generate standardized progress payment invoices aligned with architectural industry billing conventions.
Phase-Based Progress Billing
Set up automated invoicing tied to architectural project phases — schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration. Trigger billing as each project phase is completed and approved.
Structural Fee Installment Billing
Configure monthly installment billing for large architectural contracts. Spread total project fees across the estimated timeline with automated monthly invoicing, reducing client sticker shock and smoothing your firm's revenue.
Reimbursable Expense Recurring Billing
Automate monthly invoicing for ongoing reimbursable expenses including printing, courier services, permit fees, and consultant pass-throughs. Bill reimbursables alongside your monthly professional service fee on a single invoice.
How It Works
Allocate Fees Across Project Phases
Distribute the total project fee by phase — 15% to Schematic Design, 20% to Design Development, 40% to Construction Documents, 25% to Construction Administration — and select the billing format
Update Completion and Generate Payment Applications
Each month, enter phase completion percentages. The system calculates the billable increment, adds accumulated reimbursables, and produces the AIA-formatted payment application
Monitor Fee Burn Across Your Portfolio
See how much of each project's total fee has been billed versus earned, and flag projects where billing is falling behind progress or running ahead of actual completion
Frequently Asked Questions
How are AIA G702/G703 payment applications generated?
Enter the project fee breakdown and schedule of values. Each billing cycle, update completion percentages for active phases. The system produces a G702 cover sheet and G703 continuation sheet showing the correct previous billings, current billing, and balance to finish for each line item — ready for general contractor submission.
Our Schematic Design phase is 60% done — how does percentage-of-completion billing calculate the amount due?
If the SD phase fee is $50K and you mark it 60% complete, the system bills $30K minus whatever was previously billed for that phase. If $20K was billed last month at 40%, the current invoice captures the incremental $10K. The process repeats monthly until each phase reaches 100% and the full fee is collected.
Plot runs and permit fees keep piling up — how do they get onto the client invoice?
Log each reimbursable as it occurs with the date, description, and amount. Expenses queue up and appear as itemized line items on the next monthly progress bill. The client can verify each charge against their records. Nothing accumulates silently — every reimbursable hits an invoice within one billing cycle.
What happens when construction administration stalls and we need to pause billing on that phase?
Freeze billing for the stalled phase at its current completion percentage. If other phases are still active, those continue invoicing normally. When CA resumes, billing picks up where it left off. The system records the pause period so your fee burn analysis distinguishes between active project time and idle delays.
