Architecture practice management requires ERP that understands percentage-based fees, phased project delivery, and the unique resource mix of creative and technical staff.

Project Fee Structure Management

Architecture fees are structured as percentage of construction cost, fixed milestone fees, or hourly rates — sometimes all three on the same project. ERP must track fee recognition correctly for each model.

Phase-Based Project Delivery

Architecture projects flow through phases — schematic design, design development, construction documents, CA. Fees are earned and billed at phase completion. ERP tracks phase progress and triggers billing automatically.

Resource Utilization for Creative Professionals

Architects and designers bill hours at different rates depending on seniority and role. ERP timesheet integration captures hours by project and phase, enabling accurate project cost tracking and client billing.

Subconsultant and Specialist Management

Large architecture projects involve structural, MEP, and landscape subconsultants. ERP manages subconsultant contracts, fee flows, and ensures subconsultant costs are recovered in client billing.
