Time Tracking for Architecture Firms
Architects track time across phases, not just days. Schematic design, design development, construction documents, site administration - each phase has a budget, and every hour counts toward it. Sandtime.io makes it easy to log time by project and phase from any device, so your billing stays accurate and your project margins stay visible.
