Track Projects From Concept to Completion
Architecture and engineering projects span months or years, involve multiple disciplines, and live or die by their budget. TRCR keeps every phase, every hour, and every dollar visible.
Phase-Based Project Structure
Schematic design. Design development. Construction documents. Bidding. Construction administration. Use task groups to organize each phase, and custom workflow statuses to define the stages within each phase. Progress bars show where each deliverable stands — a principal can glance at the board and know the project's real status without a meeting.
Multi-Discipline Coordination
Architects, structural engineers, MEP consultants, landscape designers — everyone working on the same project in the same workspace. Permissions control who sees what. Task assignments are clear. Chat keeps coordination conversations linked to the tasks they're about, not scattered across email threads.
Budget Monitoring Through Time Tracking
AE projects are often billed as a percentage of construction cost with a not-to-exceed hours cap. TRCR tracks hours per phase and per team member so you can see burn rate in real time. Profitability reports show whether a project is on budget or heading for a fee overrun — early enough to do something about it.
Client Collaboration
Invite clients with the dedicated client role. They can follow progress through each project phase, leave comments on deliverables, and review milestones — without seeing your internal hours, rates, or team discussions. It replaces the weekly status email with a live project portal.
Recurring Reviews and Deadlines
Weekly coordination meetings. Monthly progress reports. Annual license renewals. Code review deadlines that repeat every submission cycle. Recurring tasks handle the cadence so your team focuses on the work, not the calendar.
Complexity Scoring for Resource Allocation
Not every task is equal. A code compliance review is trivial; a structural redesign is complex. The five-level complexity scale helps principals allocate the right people to the right tasks and plan realistic timelines. Priority controls ensure urgent RFIs don't get buried under routine work.
How AE Firms Use TRCR
Track hours by project phase. Bill clients monthly with detailed time breakdowns. Monitor fee burndown.
Manage permitting tasks, inspections, and submittals with custom workflows and recurring deadlines.
Organize tasks by room or deliverable. Track procurement, approvals, and installation phases separately.
Real-time sync means every office sees the same project state. No version conflicts, no stale data.
