Architecture Firm Software
Run every project, every hour and every invoice from one place.
AlfaDecode gives your architecture practice one system for the whole job — set up projects, log billable hours against each one, and bill by the hour, a fixed fee or a retainer. Raise clean client invoices, keep every client's details in one CRM, and see where your fees stand at a glance. It works offline and keeps your books tax-ready.
No card required · Cloud or on-premise · Works offline · GST & VAT ready
Project tracking
Open a project for every commission and keep all its work, hours and billing in one place. See what's live, what's stalled and what's ready to bill.
Time tracking on every project
Log billable hours against each project and design phase, so nothing you work on slips through unbilled. Know exactly where your team's time is going.
Hourly, fixed-fee or retainer billing
Bill each client the way the engagement is structured — by the hour, as a fixed project fee, or on a monthly retainer. Mix all three across your book of work.
Client invoicing
Turn logged hours and agreed fees into clean, professional invoices in a few clicks. Send them and track what's paid and what's still outstanding.

Architecture Firm software — your questions
Does it work offline?
Yes. AlfaDecode is offline-first, so you can log hours, open projects and raise invoices even with no internet — on site, on a client visit or when the connection drops. Everything syncs automatically once you're back online.
Can it handle GST, VAT or sales tax?
Yes. It raises tax-compliant invoices in your local currency and gives you the tax reports you need at filing time. It's GST, VAT and sales-tax ready, and e-invoice ready where your region requires it.
Can I run it in the cloud or keep my data on my own premises?
Both. You can run AlfaDecode in the cloud or on-premise, so your project and client data can stay on your own machines if that's your preference.
Can I bill different clients in different ways?
Yes. You can bill by the hour, as a fixed project fee, or on a monthly retainer — and mix all three across different clients and projects at the same time.
Can I track hours against individual projects?
Yes. Time is logged against each project and phase, so you can see exactly where effort is going and make sure every billable hour ends up on an invoice.
How long does it take to set up?
Minutes. The architecture-firm preset configures projects, time tracking and billing for a design practice out of the box, so you can start logging work straight away.
