Features & benefits

The whole lifecycle, one login

From the first lead through construction administration and the final pay application — built inside a working architecture practice, not imagined in a boardroom.

01Projex

Run delivery the way architects actually work

Stop rebuilding submittal logs in Excel and chasing markups across email. Every record — from the first issued set to the final pay application — lives in one place, in your format.

Publish Sets + drawing intelligence

Process issued drawings, read title blocks automatically, track revisions, and surface sheet cross-references from the register.

Submittals & RFIs with consultant routing

Full review cycles with your consultants in the loop — determinations, revision rounds, and a clean record of who said what, when.

AI submittal review

ARK reads each submittal against your project's own specifications and returns findings — the quoted requirement, the evidence, the exact gap — with suggested comments you add to your review in one click.

ARK View — review in the browser

Stamp, cloud, dimension, and mark up PDFs — submittals, RFIs, PCOs, and pay applications — without leaving the app. Your stamps, your initials, your signature.

Changes, done properly

ASIs, Proposal Requests, CCDs, and Change Orders with architect-format PDFs and the contract-party header on every document.

Pay applications end to end

Contractors build from the Schedule of Values, e-sign, and submit; you review, mark up, and certify — G702/G703-style output.

Bidding + Value Engineering

Public or invitation bid rooms, planholders, Q&A, tabulation, award, and VE — with a free public bid site for open work.

Field reports & meeting minutes

Structured field reports with PDF export, and meeting minutes with AI summaries from your Zoom, Teams, Fireflies, or Read AI recordings.

Design workflows & client portal

Scheduling & Gantt, milestones, workflows with tasks, and client feedback/approval loops — with a client-facing portal for deliverables, input requests, and approvals.

Connected to your tools

QuickBooks and Microsoft 365 connections, Bluebeam Studio round-trips, and per-person Zoom accounts — your existing tools, wired into the same project record.

02Funnel

Win the work before the work begins

Most firms lose leads to slow follow-up. Funnel answers a new inquiry in seconds, books the consult without email ping-pong, and keeps every prospect moving through your pipeline.

Embeddable lead forms

Drop a branded form on your website; every submission creates a contact and an opportunity in your pipeline.

Speed-to-lead automation

Instant email and text back to the lead — plus a ping to you — the moment a form lands.

Booking pages, multi-host

Let prospects book a consult that works for the lead architect and the PM. Double-booking is impossible by design.

Pipelines & opportunities

Drag deals through your stages, from first inquiry to signed proposal, and see exactly where every prospect stands.

Conversations & campaigns

Email threads per contact, newsletters and blasts with templates, recurring schedules, and one-click unsubscribe compliance.

Won deal → real project

When you win, one click ports the opportunity into a live project — no re-typing.

03Finance

Know where every hour and dollar stands

Fee budgets built the way architecture fees actually work — phases, staffing, and percent splits — connected to real timesheets and invoices, so realization isn't a year-end surprise.

Project fee budgets

Phases with staffing plans and percent-of-fee splits; the budget drives the schedule and the reports.

Weekly timesheets

A fast grid your staff will actually fill out — activities, task check-off, and PTO in one view.

Invoices & payments

Professional letter-format invoices generated from the work, with payment tracking against each one.

Expenses & vendor bills

Firm expenses and consultant bills captured against projects for true project cost.

Five real reports

Realization, consultant spend, profit, profit forecast, and revenue forecast — live from your own data.

Design bundle discount

With Finance, the Design module bills at $12/active project/mo instead of $34, firm-wide.
