Increasing Revenue With Project Management Software For Architects

By Rachael Gutierrez


No matter what industry you are in, there is always a more efficient way to keep track of your billable hours. Any inaccuracy or flaw in your system can cause you to lose money. The same can be said for architects and their billable hours. There is a solution to this conundrum, however. Project management software for architects is an excellent way to record your billable hours and progress of your jobs.

You may wonder how you keep track of your time when not all billable hours are charged at the same rate. It's too time-consuming to keep track of this information yourself and too expensive to hire someone to do it for you. That is where software can drastically increase your productivity and profits.

With the stress of having to deal with several jobs at one time, constrained budgets, and hard deadlines it's a wonder anyone can track the number of hours billed to a project. It's too difficult to guess how much time was spent on a project after the fact. Actually, this can be downright catastrophic if your guess is less than the actual time spent on the project. This is where software can help.

Additionally, because you are able to better track your billable hours, it will be easier for your clients to understand what they're paying for when they get their invoice. With the software you are guaranteed to be able to bill your client accurately and increase your income. This would give both you and your client peace of mind when it comes time to pay the bill.

Also, clients have the need to be always kept up to date about where you are at in your assignment. With software, it is as simple as a few mouse clicks to give them a full report about the progress of the job. This allows you to help the client feel like they are involved throughout the process and keep you on schedule.

Not only is keeping track of your progress helpful for the client, but it also helps you keep track of how long each stage of the process normally takes. Over time, this information can be aggregated to help you make better decisions about the possible time and cost expected for future projects. It allows you to give more accurate quotes to prospective clients and cut down on unforeseen costs.

Finally, all of this information as a conglomerate will allow you to work smarter instead of harder. You will be able to decrease the inefficiencies in your work schedule and increase the number of jobs you are able to complete. In the end, this will allow you to increase your profits over time.

All in all, project management software for architects is the best way to maintain records of hours billed, increase the accuracy of your records, show your clients what they are being billed for and keep them up to date on the progress of the job. The software also helps you get a better sense of the bigger picture in that you will be able to study your own working habits over time and increase the efficiency of your work. As a result, you will see your profits increase.
