Managing profitability and performance across a growing, multi-studio practice

Managing profitability and performance across a growing, multi-studio practice
“We were making decisions without really knowing where we were financially.”
— Tim Boxford, Director, Maber Architects
Maber is a 70+ person architecture practice operating across four studios, delivering work across education, healthcare, cultural and heritage sectors. Like many practices at this scale, their growth had introduced complexity faster than their internal systems could keep up.
Key information was spread across multiple tools and spreadsheets. Financial data, project performance and resourcing insights were fragmented, slow to compile and difficult to trust.
As a result, leadership teams were often making decisions without a clear, real-time understanding of how projects and the practice were performing overall.
This created familiar pressures:
Limited visibility of project profitability across studios
Reporting that took time to prepare and still lacked confidence
Admin overhead increasing as the practice grew
Inconsistent views of performance between teams
For a practice delivering complex, long-running projects, this lack of clarity made it harder to stay in control.

Maber introduced Fresh Projects to bring financial, project and resourcing data into a single, connected platform.
Instead of relying on multiple systems and manual reporting, teams across all studios began working from the same live data. Project budgets, time tracking, resourcing and reporting were aligned in one place, creating consistency across the practice.
Fresh Projects allowed Maber to:
See real-time project profitability across all studios
Standardise reporting without adding process overhead
Reduce manual admin and reconciliation work
Improve confidence in the numbers used at leadership level
Importantly, this was not about introducing heavy systems or slowing teams down. The focus was on making insight easier to access, easier to trust and easier to act on.

Clearer insight, better decisions and less admin

With Fresh Projects embedded into day-to-day operations, Maber gained the clarity they had been missing.
Leadership teams now have a consistent, real-time view of performance across projects and studios, supporting more confident decisions around resourcing, delivery and financial management.
The impact has been practical and ongoing:
Reporting is faster, simpler and more accurate
Admin effort has reduced as data flows automatically
Teams spend less time reconciling numbers and more time delivering work
Financial oversight is consistent across the practice
For Maber, Fresh Projects is not just a system change. It has become part of how the practice operates, supporting clarity, control and confidence as the business continues to deliver complex, meaningful projects.
