Practice management that knows what a conservation area is

The week a practice owner actually has

• An enquiry from Tuesday that still has not been answered.
• A fee proposal being rebuilt from a Word file from 2023.
• A job at planning that somebody needs to check on.
• Invoices raised, or possibly not raised, on two of last month's jobs.

How a job runs through TILE

1. 1Enquiry. Every enquiry lands in one list with an owner and a next action.
2. 2Fee proposal. Drafted from your own previous proposals rather than an empty page.
3. 3Job. Converted to a job on the pipeline for the right discipline.
4. 4Stages. RIBA stages with checks that have to be ticked before the stage closes.
5. 5Planning. Constraints from a postcode, then the application tracked on the job.
6. 6Documents. Drawings, reports and correspondence filed against the project.
7. 7Team and time. Hours recorded against stages by whoever did the work.
8. 8Profitability. Fee against time and cost, per job, while the job is still live.

Fee proposals that stop being a half-day job

The proposal starts from your own past work, with your scope wording and your exclusions, then a director edits and sends. The point is not speed for its own sake. It is that the enquiry gets a proper answer the same week.

Grout drafts, a principal signs

Design and Access Statements, Heritage Statements and first-draft correspondence come out of your project data. Professional review stays with you, and nothing is submitted to a council by the software.
