Time tracking for Architects & planning offices
A site visit is paid differently than drawing work, and a meeting with the client has a different cost rate than just drawing up plans. Instead of laboriously reconstructing what you did and when at the end of the month, you record the corresponding activity directly when stamping with the correct HOAI cost rate.
The recorded times with the corresponding cost rates are directly included in your project billing. At the end of the billing period, you export all data and can seamlessly integrate into your fee invoiceThis creates a legally secure basis for HOAI-compliant billing.
