Architecture firms lose hours to admin

Client communication fragmented across email, WhatsApp, phone calls, and in-person meetings
Project phases and milestones tracked in spreadsheets that fall out of date
Invoicing tied to project milestones but managed in separate accounting software
Design revisions and client feedback buried in long email threads
No centralized view of project status, client history, and financial health
Proposal follow-ups and new business development handled inconsistently

A typical day at the architecture firm

8:00 AM - Search inbox for client feedback on the revised floor plan...

9:30 AM - Client WhatsApps photos of the site. Save them somewhere useful...

10:00 AM - Check spreadsheet to see which projects are at what phase...

11:30 AM - Realize the CD milestone invoice should have gone out last week...

2:00 PM - New inquiry from a potential client. Add to the proposal tracker...

4:00 PM - Prepare project status update for three different clients manually...

Design time stolen. Invoices delayed. Clients underinformed.

Architecture FAQ

How does Dewx help architecture firms manage client communication?

Dewx brings all client and contractor messages from WhatsApp, email, and other channels into one unified inbox. Each conversation is linked to the project profile, so you see the project phase, design history, and previous discussions before responding. No more searching through email threads to find that specification change or client approval.

Can Dewx track architecture project phases?

Yes. The GTM Hub lets you set up project phases that mirror your workflow - pre-design, schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, and construction administration. Each phase has milestones, deadlines, and linked invoices. You always know where every project stands at a glance.

How does milestone-based billing work in Dewx?

OPS Hub lets you set up billing milestones tied to project phases. When you complete schematic design, Dewx can automatically generate the invoice for that phase and send it to the client via email or WhatsApp. Track deposits, progress payments, and retainers in one place. No more forgetting to invoice when a milestone is reached.

Can Dewx help with proposal and new business management?

Absolutely. Track every prospective client from initial inquiry through proposal, presentation, negotiation, and contract signing. Dew AI can send follow-up reminders on open proposals and notify you when a prospect has been dormant too long. Architecture firms using Dewx close more projects by staying on top of their pipeline.

Is Dewx suitable for small architecture firms?

Dewx is ideal for firms of all sizes, from solo practitioners to mid-size studios. Small firms benefit the most because they often lack dedicated admin staff. At $49/mo, Dewx gives you project management, client communication, and invoicing capabilities that would otherwise require multiple expensive subscriptions to tools like Monograph, BQE, and separate CRMs.
