Fresh Projects for Directors & Owners

Run a profitable A&E practice with full financial visibility

See fees, income, and costs across all projects and stages. Plan people with a forward view, track cash position, and invoice from schedules or approved time. We migrate your data and get your team working in days.

 
 

The questions every practice leader asks

 
  • Which projects and clients are profitable, and which are losing money?

  • Do we have capacity to take on new work, or do we need to hire?

  • Are we funding projects because costs run ahead of billing?

  • What can we realistically invoice this quarter based on work done?

  • How are we tracking against annual revenue and profit targets?


What Fresh Projects delivers for A&E practice leaders

Complete Margin View

See fees, income, and costs by project, client, team, and period. Spot which work makes money and which erodes margins.

How Fresh Projects works for directors & owners

 
 
 
  • Profit by Project and Client

    See fees versus income versus costs by project, client, stage, and period. Identify profitable relationships and loss-making work. Visual signals show where to act and when.

  • Revenue Forecasting

    Use weighted forecasts by project probability and stage. Compare planned billing to actual invoicing. Set monthly and annual targets and track performance against goals.

  • Workforce Planning

    Verify current capacity by office and discipline. Forecast workload against pipeline to decide when to hire, hold back, or redistribute work across teams.

  • WIP and Invoicing

    For fixed-fee projects, view percentage complete. For time and materials, see unbilled time value ready for invoicing. Payment status flows back from accounting automatically.

  • Proposal and Pricing Tools

    Price by RIBA stage or your own workflow. Mix fixed fees and time-based billing within one project. Use fee calculators to build profit into proposals from day one.

  • Business Intelligence

    Use built-in dashboards for quick insights. Export to Excel with Live Sheets for custom analysis. Connect BI tools like Power BI via our data warehouse for deeper analysis.

FAQ for practice leaders

 
  • How quickly can we go live?

    In days. We load your historic projects, timesheets, and invoices so you start with real numbers from day one. Training comes from people who understand A&E practices.

  • Can we plan by discipline and office, and move work between them?

    Yes. Group by office, team, or discipline. View capacity by group and rebalance work in minutes. See who has availability and who goes on leave across locations.

  • Can we mix fixed and time-based fees within one project?

    Yes. Use fixed fees for design stages where scope is stable, time-based for construction monitoring where scope shifts. Mix both in one project seamlessly.

  • Will paid and part-paid invoices flow back from accounts automatically?

    Yes. We sync with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and MYOB so payment status returns automatically. Forecast and cash flow views update without manual work.

  • How do we report for the board without a data team?

    Use standard dashboards or Live Sheets in Excel. Build your own pivots and charts, or connect BI tools like Power BI via our data warehouse.

  • Do you support multi-currency projects?

    Yes. Projects run in foreign currency with project-level exchange rates. We show base and original amounts and keep your accounting aligned.
