Accounting software for a Engineering & construction consulting office
An engineering consultancy provides architectural and structural design, engineering calculations, and construction supervision for developers and contractors without carrying out the build itself. Its fees are usually split across clearly defined stages such as concept design, detailed design and site supervision, with a separate payment for each stage tied to a specific project.

How a Engineering & construction consulting office runs on Artos
The cycle starts with the consultancy contract registered as a defined project in Project Management, with every design or supervision stage linked to its agreed deliverables and dates. An invoice for each payment is then issued against the project number as soon as the client signs off the stage, so collected fees flow straight onto the practice's financial accounts.
Design Stage Management
Project Management tracks each study or engineering design as its own project, from concept design through detailed design to final approval.
Stage-Based Fee Invoicing
Consultancy fee invoices are issued against the project number as each design stage is delivered, tying collection directly to work actually completed.
Contractor and Owner Accounts
Customer accounts hold a balance for every contractor or owner engaged with the practice, tracking what remains outstanding on each consultancy project on its own.
Consultancy Profitability
Accounting entries for each project post to the financial ledger, so fees collected can be compared against the cost of engineering hours to determine net profit.
