Help small practices run better businesses

Most small architecture and planning practices are excellent at the work and under-supported at running the business around it. If your organisation already advises, insures, trains, publishes for or supplies those practices, TILE is a practical thing to put in front of them.

Where practices actually struggle

The problems we hear are consistent: enquiries answered late, fees set on instinct, planning deadlines held in one person's head, and profitability discovered long after the job finished. Anyone who works with small practices sees the same pattern from a different angle, whether that is an insurer looking at risk, an accountant looking at cash, or a network looking at burnout. TILE addresses the operational side of that, and it makes the advice you already give easier to follow.

Who this tends to suit

An invitation rather than a list of current partnerships. If you work with architecture, technology or planning practices and are not listed, still get in touch.

Four ways to work together

Referral partners

You work with practices who are losing hours to admin, or who cannot tell you which jobs made money. Referral arrangements are available. Talk to us about a partnership that works for your audience.

  • A named contact, and a straight answer about fit
  • Setup help for the practices you introduce
  • We say plainly when TILE is not the right tool for someone

Member benefits

For institutes, networks, CPD providers and training organisations with a membership of practices. Preferential access, pricing or onboarding support for members is something we are open to discussing. We will not publish a member offer before it is agreed.

  • A member landing page where appropriate
  • Practical onboarding for members in their first weeks
  • Sessions written for practice owners rather than for software buyers

Integration partners

For planning-data providers, accounting software, document tooling and others where a connection would save a practice real work. We publish an integration when it exists and works, and not before.

  • Scoping based on what practices actually need
  • Clear position on data responsibility on both sides
  • No announcement until it is live

Co-marketing

CPD-style sessions, webinars, guides, joint research and guest content. Practice management, fee setting and profitability are subjects small practices rarely get proper training in, and that is usually a better session than a product walkthrough.

  • Content on fees, profitability and practice admin
  • Joint guides for your members
  • Guest sessions at your events

What a partnership can produce

  • A partner announcement page once something is live
  • A member offer or referral route where agreed
  • A named case study, only with the practice's permission
  • Joint content both audiences can use

We do not publish a partnership, a member offer or a case study before it is agreed and real.
