For design studios

The whole job in one place, with the design protected

Run projects around the intent you are responsible for, from the first brief to the handover, and stop chasing it through other people's tools.

Charter

Write the intent down once

Draft the Charter from your concept narrative and brief, then edit it until it says what you mean.

  • Moments, principles, non-negotiables and tolerances, each with a code a contractor can quote
  • Decision rights by intent impact, cost and programme effect
  • Versions and sign-off, with every decision kept against the version it was made under
  • Property variations where a site needs to differ

Design and FF&E

Present, specify and get it approved

The FF&E schedule is checked against the Charter as you build it, and the client approves in their portal.

  • Schedule from your library or a Programa or spreadsheet export, with spec sheets and Excel out
  • Presentations designed in the app with live product cards, published as PDF with bleed and on-site QR codes
  • Client approvals that come back for approval if the name, spec, supplier, price or image changes
  • Imagery from Firefly, Gemini or GPT Image, always labelled as AI-generated

Change control

Every change reviewed against the intent

Contractors raise changes on their own links; the studio raises its own from a site walk or a call.

  • Intent review of changes, RFIs, substitutions, submittals and drawing revisions that carry a bound
  • Routing by decision rights to the programme lead, the studio or the client
  • Supplier substitutes are changes too: nothing substitutes without a decision

Procurement and site

From quote to installed, on the record

Suppliers price and confirm on their own links. The site team works from a phone, even offline.

  • Supplier quotes by link, accepted line by line onto the schedule
  • Client quotes built from cost and your rate card markup, priced only for the client
  • Purchase orders, deposits, promised dates and deliveries
  • Drawings, transmittals and submittals, site audits with fix links for each party, and the site diary

Studio

Time, fees and margin, kept to the studio

Costs are entered once and never shown again. Clients and partners only ever see prices.

  • Fee quotes from your rate card, with floors that show red; the client accepts in the portal
  • Time from a timer on any task, against fee stages
  • Capacity with leave, bank holidays and the weighted pipeline
  • Invoices checked by a second person where your table of authority requires it, sent to Xero as drafts; payments read back
  • Table of authority: who approves, checks or decides each action, by role and amount

Finish properly, and learn from it

Practical completion, the final account and the handover, with nothing left half-open.

  • A checklist of what is still open, and what must clear before closing
  • The final account at the client's prices
  • A handover pack for the client: approved FF&E, current drawings, site reports and decisions
  • Lessons learned proposed from the project's record, confirmed by the team, kept for the next one
