Example

How a firm like yours could run it

A firm like this

Two principal architects and eight designers work on homes, offices and small commercial buildings, from concept to handover.

A typical month

Each project shows its current stage and what's needed from the client. When a concept is approved in writing, the stage is marked complete and invoiced. Authority queries are tracked with their dates. Site visits are logged as time, so supervision effort is visible against the budget.

Where the work gets hard

  • Stage fees were invoiced late, or not at all.
  • Approvals and client decisions weren't recorded clearly.
  • Site supervision took far more time than planned.

What MSMEPulse gives you

  • Each stage is invoiced when it's reached.
  • Approvals are on record.
  • Supervision time is tracked, not guessed.
