Time Tracking for Interior Designers
Interior designers work across concept, design development, procurement, and installation - often on flat fees where the real time cost is invisible until the project is over. Without accurate time records, fixed-fee projects erode margin quietly, scope creep goes unbilled, and the next quote is just another guess. Sandtime.io lets you log time per project and phase as you work, tracks hours against fee estimates in real time, and gives you the data to price future projects based on what work actually takes.
Why Interior Designers choose Sandtime.io
Track Time by Project and Phase
Assign every hour to the right project and phase - concept design, design development, procurement, site visits, and client meetings - as you work. Know what each project actually costs before the final invoice goes out.
Know Your Real Rate on Fixed-Fee Projects
See how many hours a flat-fee project has consumed. Know your real effective rate on fixed-fee work and use actual data to price future projects - not memory and guesswork.
Monitor Project Budgets in Real Time
Track hours against your project fee estimate as you go. Know when a project is running over budget before it becomes a client conversation, and flag scope creep while there is still time to address it.
Invoice Without Guessing
Pull invoice-ready time logs by project or client at the end of each phase. No reconstructing site visits and client calls from a calendar and inbox.
Common use cases
- Log time per project and phase as design work progresses
- Track client meetings, site visits, and procurement hours separately
- Know the effective hourly rate on flat-fee and fixed-price projects
- Monitor hours against fee estimates to catch scope creep early
- Pull billing summaries per client or project at the end of each phase
- Separate billable design work from non-billable business development time
