Practice management for small UK architecture and planning practices

Your practice is busy. Is every job paying its way?

Enquiries, fee proposals, project stages, time and invoicing — together in one place. See what needs chasing, what needs billing, and which jobs are drifting before the month is gone.

Practice management that knows what a conservation area is.

Founder pricing from £24.99 per user, per month, locked at the tier you join. Cancel anytime.

The real pipeline view. Every job is a card; dragging it forward fires the next set of actions.

The week you already know

Sound familiar?

The enquiry that sat unanswered

It came in on WhatsApp on Tuesday. You meant to reply on Wednesday. By Friday they had booked someone else.

The extras nobody quoted

The client asked for 'one small change' four times. The fee never moved. The hours did.

Profitability you learn too late

The job felt busy all the way through. Only at the invoice did you find out it barely broke even.

Administration earns nothing and puts fees at risk. TILE is built to give those hours back.

What TILE does for the practice

Win the work. Run the work. Make money from the work.

01

Win the work

Turn enquiries into properly scoped, profitable fee proposals, then keep follow-ups and your pipeline moving.

02

Run the work

Keep jobs, stages, planning checks, documents, tasks and team actions attached to the right project.

03

Make money from the work

Track fees, time, capacity and job profitability before a busy month becomes an unprofitable one.

One job, start to finish

From first message to paid invoice.

Follow a single rear-extension job through TILE — from the first WhatsApp message to the invoice that reflects what the job actually earned.

An illustrative example: the job and numbers are invented, the steps are exactly what the product does.

  1. 1The enquiry lands. A homeowner messages about a rear extension in a conservation area. You paste the message into TILE; Grout pulls out the client, the address and the project type, and opens a job card.
  2. 2The fee proposal goes out the same afternoon. TILE flags the conservation area and Article 4 direction from the postcode, and Grout drafts a fee proposal benchmarked against your past quotes. You adjust the number and send it under your name.
  3. 3The job runs stage by stage. Appointed, survey, planning, Building Regs. Each stage carries its checklist, so the consultation deadline and the condition discharge are tracked on the job, not on paper.
  4. 4Time and fee stay in view. Hours are logged against the job's target cost-per-hour. When the client asks for extra work, you can see what it does to the margin before you say yes.
  5. 5You bill what the job earned. The invoice goes out against the fee schedule, and the dashboard shows what the job actually made — while there is still time to price the next one better.

The product, not a mock-up

The pipeline. Every job at every stage, with the next action on the card.
Grout reading a pasted enquiry and structuring it onto the job.
One job card: stages, checklist, fee and time in one place.

Grout, the built-in assistant

Grout drafts. You sign.

Paste the enquiry in whatever form it arrived. Grout pulls out the client, the address and the project type, drafts the fee proposal against benchmarked rates, and creates the first actions. You review it, change what you want, and it goes out under your name.

Step 1

Paste the raw enquiry

Email, WhatsApp, voicemail transcript — anything. Just paste it in.

Step 2

Grout extracts what matters

Client, address, project type and constraints, structured onto the job.

Step 3

You review and send

Fee suggested, letter drafted, first actions created. Nothing goes out without you.

A fee proposal that would have waited until Sunday night goes out the same afternoon.

Who built it

Built by someone who lived the problem.

I've been working in architecture and running an architectural design practice for over 20 years. I built TILE because I got tired of losing hours every week to admin that should not exist.

Fee quotes that took half a day. Planning deadlines tracked on bits of paper. Invoices I forgot I had raised.

TILE is the system I always wanted. Built from scratch for architecture and planning practices, by someone who has spent two decades doing the work.
