A CRM built for architecture studios
Projects, drawings, approvals and fee stages on one board — every revision issues itself with a transmittal, and nobody builds off a superseded set.

Off-the-shelf CRMs were built for a sales team. Not for architecture studios.
The drawing register is a spreadsheet three revisions behind reality — and one contractor building off a superseded set costs more than a year of fees.
Stage sign-offs happen in meetings, but the invoice goes out weeks later when someone remembers — the studio ends up banking the client’s cash flow problem.
Planning applications sit with the council for weeks with nobody chasing, and the client hears “still waiting” until they stop asking.
Consultant packages arrive late and get discovered the day the coordinated set is due — so the deadline slips a fortnight, every time.
See it from the inside
What your CRM would look like — screen by screen.
Not stock screenshots — this is the shape of the system we’d build for architecture studios: your records, your stages, your words. Click through the screens.
The principal’s morning screen — issues due this week, approvals in limbo, the month’s fees — and what the automations chased before nine.
A real starting point
Here’s the analysis we’d start from — for architecture studios.
Not a template. This is the data model, pipeline and automations a business like yours actually runs on — mapped in your words. Your free analysis produces exactly this, shaped to you.
Your system, mapped
Your pipeline, exactly as your CRM would show it — your stages, your words. This is what we build from.
What it tracks
Where customers reach you
Connects to
Busywork the system takes over
- Issue transmittals — every revision numbered, logged and sent with an issue sheet
- Approval chasers — nudges the planning officer and the client sign-off before things go quiet
- Fee stage invoicing — the invoice raises itself the moment a stage gate is signed off
- Consultant reminders — structure and M&E get chased three days before a package is due
What this replaces — where it hurts today
- Drawing register behind reality
- Invoices weeks after sign-off
- Consultant packages landing late

Questions architecture studios ask us
- Does it replace our CAD or BIM software?
- No — Revit, ArchiCAD and the model stay exactly where they are. This is the layer around them: the register, the issue sheets, the approvals, the consultants and the fees. Drawings link out to your file storage, and anything with an export can feed the board.
- Our drawing register is sacred — what happens to revision control?
- It gets stricter, not looser. Every issue is numbered and logged with a transmittal, old revisions are stamped superseded the moment a new one goes out, and the register exports whenever your PI insurer or an auditor asks. The spreadsheet retires with honours.
- How long until we’re live?
- A working prototype in about a week for €500. The full build usually lands in three to six weeks, depending on how many live projects you migrate and which integrations are in scope.
- Who owns the system and the data?
- You do — entirely. It’s your system, hosted for you, and you can export everything at any time. No per-seat lock-in.
