The problem

Admin around the design work

Practices typically run Archicad, Revit or Vectorworks for design, with Archisoft, Synergy or Deltek for project management and a lot of coordination in email. Every project brings fee proposals, planning reports, consultant briefs, specifications and meeting minutes.

Senior architects write and review much of this themselves, often after hours.

People first

Graduates, project architects and directors

Graduates spend less time on minutes and documentation clean up and more time learning design and detailing. Project architects get clearer weeks. Directors get better visibility of fees and resourcing. We plan training around project deadlines so it does not land during documentation crunches.

First steps

Where a practice can begin

Over time

What a better documented practice looks like

After the first few months, most of the change is quiet. Minutes go out the same afternoon, so builders and consultants act on decisions sooner. Fee proposals reuse the thinking from past projects instead of being rebuilt from memory. Specification clauses come from your master NATSPEC set with fewer copy errors from old jobs. Directors can see which projects are running over their fee before the invoice is late, because time and stage data sit together in Archisoft or Synergy. Designers notice the difference most on Friday afternoons, which stop being about catching up on paperwork. None of this changes how you design. It changes how much of the week is left for designing. Small studios of five to fifteen people often benefit most, because one person usually carries the admin load for every project. Freeing that person up has an outsized effect on the whole practice, and it lowers the risk when they take leave or move on.

Design authorship and registration

Registered architects remain responsible for their work under the Architects Act. AI supports documents and admin, while design decisions, certification and professional advice stay with your registered people.
