Budgets that match how architects deliver projects
Most tools cap out at one budget per project. Archflow lets you set a fee for each phase and, when it helps, break that phase into tasks with their own dollar and hour budgets. So when a project trends over, you know whether it's CDs as a whole or one task that ate the fee.
Book a DemoFee allocation by phase
Lay out the AIA phases you use — SD, DD, CD, Bidding, CA — plus any custom ones, and assign a fee and hour budget to each. The phase view shows what is allocated, what has been earned, and what is left without anyone touching a spreadsheet.
Drill into task-level budgets
This is where Archflow goes further than most tools in this space. Inside a phase, break the work into the tasks your team actually does and assign a budget to each. If CA is running hot, you can tell whether it's site visits, RFIs, or submittal review burning the hours.
Budget vs. actual, all the time
Hours logged on a timesheet roll up to the task, the phase, and the project automatically. There is no overnight job, no monthly reconciliation. The budget vs. actual you see at 4pm reflects the entry your designer made at 3:55.
Fee data you can actually use on the next proposal
Once you have a few projects in Archflow, the historical view becomes useful. See which phases consistently come in under budget and which ones get away from you, then use that on the next fee proposal instead of guessing.
Key Benefits
- Set fee and hour budgets at the phase level, then go deeper into tasks where it matters
- Watch budget vs. actual update as the team logs hours
- Catch the phases trending hot in week three, not at substantial completion
- Use historical project data on your next fee proposal
- Tie phase budgets directly into invoices and reporting
- See remaining capacity per phase without rebuilding it in Excel
