Time tracking for architects: stay on top of your time and projects

For architects and other professionals in the construction sector, accurate time tracking is not just an administrative task, but an essential part of professional project management. Architects deal with complex assignments where design, consultations, site visits, drafting, and supervision all come together. Every hour spent on a project represents value — both in time and money. Without reliable time tracking, not only can revenue be lost, but projects also risk becoming financially unbalanced.

Time tracking provides insight into how much time is spent on each part of a project and helps identify overruns at an early stage. For architects working on fixed-price agreements, this is essential to safeguard profitability. For those billing by the hour, it is even a legal requirement to transparently substantiate time spent towards the client.

In addition, time tracking provides a foundation for accountability and control. Large construction projects often involve multiple parties, each with their own responsibilities, contract terms, and deadlines. In such a context, accurate time registration helps demonstrate who did what, and when — especially in the case of disputes about progress, additional work, or delays.

A well-maintained time log also makes it possible to evaluate projects afterward: where too much time was spent, and where efficiencies were gained. These insights are invaluable for future assignments, enabling better estimates and planning. For subsidy programs or tenders, where time accountability is often required, accurate time tracking also serves as essential proof. In short: for today’s architect, keeping track of hours is not just an obligation, but a strategic tool for staying in control of work, costs, and the quality of service.

    Annemieke Augusteijn

    I’ve been using TimeWriter for several years now, and I find it an incredibly handy and user-friendly tool. I often have recurring appointments, and the ability to enter them quickly is a key reason why I use TimeWriter. The other features, such as integration with my calendar, also ensure that I spend no more time on time tracking than absolutely necessary. Highly recommended!

    Wanda de Schrijver

    After a long search, I finally found a good program to track hours worked per client. It offers clear report outputs and lets you work with many variables. I’m very satisfied with this software for my accounting firm. The helpdesk is also very pleasant to work with, which I consider a big plus.
