Powerful and easy to use practice management software designed specifically for architects.

Architect has been specifically developed for small and medium sized practices. The software has been designed to provide project and client information at the click of a mouse, streamlining the business and dramatically reducing administrative overheads. Architect provides structure to a busy office therefore promoting an efficient, organised and effective image to the client.

Critically the Architect software has been designed to ensure that it supports the fundamentals required by an architects practice but does not include features that cover for every eventuality which then makes it complex. This ensures the software is simple and easy to use getting the buy in from all employees within the practice, including the partners!

If a practice has a requirement that sits outside the standard software, our developers can easily change the package to fit the nuances of that practice without the need to wait for 6 monthly or yearly releases.

The Practice

Working closely with a leading Architect, Orovia has developed a management system designed to ensure architects and their employees maintain timely contact with customers throughout the lifecycle of a project and manage all key milestones in the design, planning and build phases. The system manages all documentation including drawings and images attached to a project.

In addition the system provides key management information ensuring accurate ‘time spent’ versus ‘time charged’ for any project or multiple projects.

A suite of reports will provide client and project information which can be tailored to suit a particular practice’s requirements. Typical reports provide information on staff utilisation, project efficiencies, ‘enquiry to project’ conversion etc.

The Client

Clients have the ability to access their documentation and plans through a secure login on the practice website greatly enhancing the service provided to a client and reducing time administering such requests by staff within the practice. A clients user rights are controlled by the Practice Administrator but the functionality is available to let the client view relevant milestones within a particular project, as well as relevant notes and comments.
