Plans, phases and approvals — operating within the Professional Services operational architecture, with capabilities, data fields, and workflows configured for how an architecture / design actually manages its day-to-day operations.
An architecture and design practice manages projects that can span years — from initial brief and concept design through statutory approvals, tender, construction documentation and site administration to completion. Managing the fee, the team, the documentation and the client relationship through that arc, across concurrent projects at different stages, requires a practice discipline that few traditional project management tools are designed for.
Project architects are managing design development, co-ordinating consultants, reviewing shop drawings and responding to site queries from builders — all while team timesheets sit unreconciled against the fee. When the project moves into the next phase, fee draw-downs need to be calculated and invoiced — a process that falls to admin staff working from the project fee proposal that may be months old. Design change requests from clients aren't tracked as scope variations, leading to fee erosion.
These are the capabilities configured for this template. Start with them, then adjust to your process — nothing invented, only what a architecture / design actually uses.
Keep the team organized and shifts covered.
Hire the people you need without losing track of candidates.
Deploy from the Professional Services operational baseline—shared capabilities, field structures, and workflow logic—then extend it with the data models, process steps, and reporting formats specific to a architecture / design operation. The architecture configures around your internal processes and scales as your business grows.
