Sound familiar?

The questions that break your design time.

They’re reasonable questions. Answering them shouldn’t take half your afternoon.

“Which client decisions are holding up the next drawing issue?”

Studio principal

“How many studio hours have gone into this revision?”

Project architect

“Where did we record the agreed renovation allowance?”

Studio coordinator

Aqtos BOSS* helps architecture studios organize design delivery and business operations: client briefs, review tasks, recorded studio time, budgets, expenses and invoices. It provides the coordination around the design work.

and spend less of your day switching tools.

Too many places to keep up.

Before you move your work

Questions architecture studios ask.

How can an architecture studio use BOSS*?

Set up each commission as a project, keep the client brief and review tasks together, assign design and coordination actions, and record studio time and project expenses. Use the same workspace for the related client and invoice records.

Can we track renovation budgets and our design fee separately?

Keep the client's construction or renovation allowance explicit in the project brief, and use the studio's budget and time records for its own delivery review. Agree which amounts represent client spend, studio fees and expenses so those figures are not confused.

Does BOSS* replace CAD, BIM or drawing-management software?

BOSS* coordinates projects and business operations around design work. Keep your CAD, BIM and specialist drawing tools for design production, model coordination and any required drawing-control process.

How can a studio manage client revisions?

Record the requested change on the project, give the revision an owner and date, and keep comments with the task. Review the additional work against the agreed scope and recorded studio time before promising the next issue.

Can AI agents help with architecture project administration?

The examples show a connected AI tool turning a review request into a task and subtasks, recording a project expense and handing over a revision task. The agent works with the business records around the design process.
