What's the hardest part of being an architect? Megan Walsh, Principal at Aria Group has a great answer: Her advice to her younger self is to slow down. Architecture schools put pressure to work extreme hours. And they lack business education about how to practice effectively. It’s hard to slow down to invest time with your team. Especially when clients shorten deadlines. But it's important to prioritize! How would you answer this question? --- We loved speak with all of you at The American Institute of Architects (AIA) '24!

What’s the hardest part of being an architect? Taylor Purser served a hot take! He's a Senior Designer at Corgan in the Pheonix Healthcare sector. Taylor’s answer? The business aspect of it. Some architects put themselves on a pedestal. They design without the client’s needs in mind. They overlook their project partners, like Interior Designers. And they ignore the business administration. How would you answer? --- We're still recovering from the epic week at The American Institute of Architects (AIA) National '24!

How to run your architecture firm in half the time: (Architects are always swamped...) Especially firm owners. But tons of architects have figured out an easier way to run a firm. For example, this is a 15-person firm called VERTEBRAL. They used to have: - No clarity into project-specific performance and profit margins. - No way to invoice for hours logged. - No time tracking at all. It wastes a ton of time to diagnose and fix issues in that environment. But then one of their colleagues recommended they use Monograph. Because of its: - ease of use - good support - product development. Here’s the results after they switched: - 50% Time saved on admin - 2x Faster billing process - 25% Less budget overage All of this is easy now: - You can look into projects and figure out if you are on track for profitability. - You can track and invoice your time and expenses easily. - And you can have an overview of how your business is doing. Show your boss Monograph(dot)com and ask what they’d do with the time savings.

If staff planning isn’t working in your firm... The architects are not the problem 👇 If you can’t anticipate workload beyond a week... or your project managers struggle to know project profitability... It’s the design of your tools. They’re too slow. They’re not user friendly. And it affects the business results of your firm. What happened to Smith Vigeant Architectes is super common. It’s a systemic issue in the architecture & engineering industry. That’s why the Monograph community has grown so fast in recent years. Big suprise: Designers need good business tools! (You might be surprised how eager your colleagues are to switch.) Go to Monograph(dot)com to see what you're missing.

Our CEO, Robert Yuen, asks: What's your favorite Monograph feature? For Clemente Jaquez, AIA - it’s staffing. He’s the founding principal at MODUSarchitecture. - His firm is staffing every Monday. - Get a quick snapshot on who is working on what. - How much everyone has on their plate. They have transparency. And as the week happens - they check progress to stay on track. So they can make next week even better. What’s your favorite feature in Monograph?
