By monitoring the time spent on each project phase, architects can identify areas where efficiency can be increased, thus optimising the overall workflow. Additionally, time tracking data can inform future project estimates, leading to more competitive pricing and better resource allocation.

Hourly offers with various tiers to accommodate different needs and budgets. Small architectural firms can benefit from the software's scalability, choosing a plan that fits their size and budget while still enjoying all the essential features needed to manage their projects effectively.

Hourly’s time tracking software is adept at handling the dynamic and multifaceted nature of architectural work. It allows architects to manage and track time across multiple projects without the need to switch contexts or tools. This feature is particularly beneficial for architectural firms who often have teams working on various projects at different stages of completion.

With Hourly, each client can be set up with unique projects, budgets and team members, enabling a structured approach to time management. The software’s intuitive interface allows users to easily start and stop the timer for individual tasks or manually enter time if preferred. This flexibility ensures that accurate time records are maintained for each project, which is essential for billing, project management, and performance analysis.
