OLIVIA HAMILTON, OFFICE MANAGER
LAB-WORKS ARCHITECTURE
Work hours are the primary driver of project costs on most architecture and engineering firms’ jobs, so inaccurate timesheets distort everything downstream, from profitability to client billing. A proper time tracking solution also gives architecture and engineering firms project visibility they can point to when a client questions a fee during design development, schematic design, or construction documentation.
Total Synergy supports automatic time tracking as well as manual timesheet entry, so teams can log work hours in whatever way suits how they actually work. Unlike standalone time trackers built for generic teams, time is recorded against specific tasks and project phases, not just a project as a whole, which gives far more useful data for time management across the practice. Mobile apps mean staff can log hours from a site visit or client meeting, not just from a desk.
Every hour logged is measured against the phase and task it was recorded to, so project managers can see project costs against project budgets as they happen rather than discovering an overrun at month end. That data feeds directly into project planning and resource planning, with a Gantt chart view showing where the team’s time is actually going against what was scheduled. Better resource allocation and resource management follow naturally once time tracking software for architects is doing the heavy lifting, and firms get a clearer read on cash flow as a result.
Yes. When time is logged accurately against the right project, phase, and task, invoicing reflects the actual work delivered rather than an estimate. This reduces disputes at client billing time and protects your realisation rate, which is the percentage of billable hours you actually get paid for.
Total Synergy connects with Xero and QuickBooks, so approved time and expenses flow through to invoicing and financial reporting without double handling. Firms modelling in design tools like Revit still need a system that tracks the time and cost sitting behind that work, and Total Synergy is built to be that system rather than a generic add-on.
General project management tools such as Asana, Trello, and ClickUp can track tasks and deadlines, but they weren’t built to connect time to project budgets, billable hours, or client billing. Standalone time trackers such as Harvest, Clockify, and Toggl Track solve the timesheet problem well in isolation, but leave project financials, resource planning, and invoicing sitting in a separate system. Total Synergy brings time tracking, project management, and financials together in one system built for both architecture and engineering firms, so every hour logged connects straight through to project costs, cash flow, and invoicing without stitching tools together.
Late or vague timesheet entries are the biggest issue, usually because logging time feels like an afterthought rather than part of the workflow. Firms also struggle when time isn’t linked to project phases, from schematic design through construction documentation, making it hard to see which stage drove up project costs. Total Synergy addresses both by making time entry simple and tying it directly to project structure, without tipping into the kind of employee monitoring that teams resent.
