Run your practice, not just your projects
Architecture and design practices live on fees, hours and deadlines. Matrix brings projects, time, proposals, invoicing and the design workflow into one place — with the books behind them.
Projects and time recording
Proposals from the CRM
Design stages on boards
Unlimited team members
Projects that show their profit
Record time and costs against each project and compare them with the fee. Know which stages run over before the project is finished.
- Project budgets and actuals
- Time recording by team member
- Costs and invoices by project
A project's budget-versus-actual view: concept, design development and documentation stages with hours and fees.
From enquiry to fee proposal
Track enquiries and competitions in the CRM, send fee proposals as quotes, and turn the accepted one into the project's first invoice.

- Fee proposals as quotes
- Won work flows into invoicing
A fee proposal PDF on a tablet in a client meeting, with site photos spread on the table.
The design workflow on a board
Run each job's stages — concept, DA, documentation, construction — as a Planning board, with checklists for submissions and due dates for every milestone.
- Stage-by-stage boards
- Submission checklists
- Deadline reminders
A board with lists for 'Concept', 'DA', 'Documentation' and 'Construction' and cards for each deliverable.
