Timesheet software built for architecture firms
The right architecture time tracking software helps ensure accurate billing across projects and revisions.
My Hours gives architectural firms a structured way to track projects in real time, control project budgets, and monitor profitability from one platform.
Project Organization
Architectural projects move through different stages, such as schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration. Tracking time should be granular enough to reflect the work done at each stage so budgets and billing are accurate.
Staff log time only against assigned tasks, so hours automatically go where they belong.
"I spent a lot of time searching for the most useful time tracker app from a wide offer on the web, but overall I found MyHours the best on the market, and that fully meets my needs and requirements. The team, listening to customers, constantly updates the app by adding new features, perfecting and expanding its potential."
Track Revisions Without Losing the Fee
Most architectural commissions involve multiple rounds of revisions, and it’s easy to lose sight of which were part of the original scope and which weren’t.
"Once you set it up, inputting project info, specific tasks, and hourly rates, you just need to open it up and go. I just list my projects alphabetically, so it's easy to enter in the project. I have a pretty complete list of tasks for each project, and of course, the times are at your fingertips, so all that info gets loaded in quickly and recorded."
Flexible Billing Structures
Project commissions don’t always follow the same pricing model. Some firms bill hourly, others charge a flat fee per task. Many run a combination of both within the same commission.
My Hours lets you adjust billing options as needed.
"My Hours was the first system I found that let me really customize my solution the way that I wanted and needed it for my own tracking. I love the fact that I can have clients with different rates, team members with different rates, multiple projects for clients, and tasks under those projects. It's incredible the amount of customization on such an easy-to-navigate product."
Keep Fixed-Fee Phases On Budget
Missed deadlines aren’t the only way commissions lose money. Hours that go unmonitored, whether from a fixed-fee task or an unflagged client revision, can affect profitability just as fast.
"The time tracking, billing, and report making. Pretty much all in one, and so far I really don't have to use any other app."
Track Time From Any Device
Architects split their time between the studio, client meetings, and site visits, and time tracking needs to keep pace.

"I’ve been using My Hours for several years now, at previous firms and now for my own practice. It’s a very easy-to-use and customizable interface. It makes daily task logging a breeze."
Manage Multiple Projects and Retainers
Firms rarely work on one project at a time, and each one may run on a different fee structure.
"I am an independent consultant and use My Hours daily to track my work time for several clients. I am able to create tasks specific to my work/industry and thus can track HOW I spend my time for each client. Additionally, I can easily and efficiently generate invoices at the end of each month and attach detailed reports to detail my work."
Track Expenses
Labor isn’t the only cost associated with commissions. With My Hours, you don't need a separate tool to track expenses, such as site visits, printing, models, and materials.
"As a freelance designer, I needed a way to keep track how much time I was spending on multiple jobs at once. And at different rates. But the feature that sold me on My Hours was the budgeting. [...] Plus seeing the additional expenses (like purchased software, stock art, website themes) added in helps me get a much better overall feel for how my little business is doing. It's so easy to use and I haven't even dug into all that is here yet."
Client Reporting
Clients expect clear, regular updates, and My Hours makes it easy to generate reports to keep them informed.
Every action is recorded in an audit log, giving both your team and clients a transparent record of changes.
"My Hours is super easy to view, learn, and use. Clocking in and clocking out as a way of tracking time is easy, or time can be manually logged with a project name and description about the work done. The Reports generated by the system are well-organized, easy to read, and are easy to send to show time worked."
Streamlined Invoicing
Since billable hours and expenses are pulled directly from approved time entries, you don’t need to re-enter data, calculate totals separately, or reach for another tool.
Your data stays protected and compliant at every step.
