Time Tracking Software for Architecture Firms

Architecture firms need to track time across project phases — schematic design, design development, construction documents — because each phase has a fixed fee, and overspending hours in one phase steals budget from the next. With phased fees based on project milestones (schematic, DD, CD, CA), your architects, designers, drafters, and project managers switch contexts dozens of times per day — and without precise time tracking, those fragmented hours are the first revenue to disappear from your bottom line. AIA-standard project phases — schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration — span months or years, with multiple team members contributing at different rates. AgencyPro tracks hours against these industry-standard phases automatically, so your architects and drafters spend time designing buildings rather than navigating time entry systems. Integration with Revit and AutoCAD workflows means timers can start when project files open. Architecture projects that exceed their fee often do so invisibly during the construction administration phase. Site visits, RFI responses, change order reviews, and contractor coordination consume hours that were underestimated in the original proposal. AgencyPro surfaces CA-phase time trends across your project portfolio, giving principals the data they need to negotiate more realistic fee structures with developers and owners on future projects.
