ArchiOffice — Testimonials
We are pleased to share with you this selection from literally hundreds of testimonials we've received from A&E firms of all sizes.
"ArchiOffice is so well targeted to the workflow in an architectural office that we have found it extremely easy to use. This is refreshing after dealing with other products that are supposedly aimed at the AEC market. Also, it is truly friendly to a cross-platform computing environment. Most importantly, we feel we are dealing with friendly, smart people who actually use the program themselves, and are committed to making it better and better as time goes on."

Douglas Gallow, AIA — Lifespan Design Studio, LLC

"We have tried a lot of time & billing programs over the years but they never worked together. ArchiOffice has all these things integrated into one package. The productivity of having all the contacts, documents and time & billing at our fingertips has allowed us to spend more time on design rather than administration."
Sandy Barker, AIA — Barker Associates, Architects
Menlo Park, CA, United States
"Compared to our two prior attempts with billing applications, issuing invoices with ArchiOffice was a breeze. It really does what you claim; it works the way architects do. Great invoice format and style, great reports and summary windows. Your support team has been extremely helpful assisting us with the setup."
Mark Christopher, R.A. — Christopher Kacur Architects
San Diego, CA, United States
"We had used a few systems to record our time but nothing really catered for the way an Architect works, apart from products suited to large corporations, nothing decent for the small practice. Along came ArchiOffice. I became quite excited when I found it and followed the progress of the product from its infancy, even contributing a little feedback when using the early Demo, which was received and acted upon with remarkable enthusiasm. This product is really a fantastic management tool that can easily be tailored to suit any size of architectural practice."
Simon Cuttle, RIBA — Cresswell, Cuttle & Dyke
Guernsey United Kingdom
"Our architectural team has struggled with other software packages that promised to accomplish what ArchiOffice has actually provided. We were looking for a way to get a handle on project budgets and the actual time it takes to accomplish the various tasks involved in the design of projects, and ArchiOffice has certainly helped our design staff see where the hours go and how it relates to the billing process."
Terri Johnson — Ruff + Associates
Ukiah, CA, United States

Herman Coronado, AIA — Curry Boudreaux Architects, L.L.C.
Houston, TX, United States
"As a start-up firm we were drawn to ArchiOffice as a way to standardize our approach to various task - billing, tracking time and even the creation of documents (such as transmittals, etc.). We have been very pleased with the results. We appreciate the support staff's willingness to work through questions we have encountered."
Andrew Rosenthal, AIA — GRA+D Architects
Columbus, OH, United States
"We noticed immediately that the document templates were better organized than the type of documents we had been using in the past and started utilizing these before we even completed the installation. The flexibility of accounting and billing options is a valuable tool and the invoice format and appearance gives us a much more professional look than would be possible with QuickBooks."
Warren Lloyd, AIA — Lloyd Architects
Salt Lake City, UT , United States
"We are a small firm of 7 that was using separate software programs for billing, time tracking, contact management and calendaring. We were thrilled that ArchiOffice does all of the above and more. There was practically no learning curve for our employees. The ArchiOffice templates for correspondence and project administration are very comprehensive. The billing summaries have been a great tool for everyone to get an up-to-the-minute snapshot of how a project is doing in budgeted vs. actual time.
Having everyone enter their own time in ArchiOffice has made invoicing simpler and the invoices look professional.
Support responds right away to questions. Each release has great new features that demonstrate their commitment to continuing to improve the software."
Donald Powers, AIA — Donald Powers Architects, Inc.
Providence, RI, United States
"Before ArchiOffice, it used to take us months to get invoices out. Now invoices usually go out within 5 days of the last month's cutoff, and the amounts are definite and easily auditable. ArchiOffice has also helped greatly with our payroll and vacation tracking. I'd say ArchiOffice paid for itself the first month we used it!"
Rebecca Firestone — BRU Architects
San Francisco, CA, United States
"I've been using computers for 30 years and can't imagine how I would accomplish what I do for our company without ArchiOffice. It makes me much more effective at what I do and allows us to know exactly where we are in our business at any given time. My life at work would be a massive nightmare without ArchiOffice!"
Barbara Frey, Office Manager — Ruff + Associates
Ukiah, CA, United States
"We love the ArchiOffice summaries. It shows the billed and remaining status, which is very helpful for staff and principals to review. Also the way the stipulated sum invoice system calculates fees is brilliant."
Jenny Marshall — Neumann Mendro Andrulaitis

Joyce Shue, Office Manager — Todd Jersey Architecture

"Introducing ArchiOffice to my office saw my billing increase 300% in one month! It is an extremely effective tool for managing time and ensuring expenses are recouped. I can't believe how much money I was leaving on the table before ArchiOffice."
James Osborne — Material Landscape Architecture
Surrey Hills, NSW, Australia
"ArchiOffice is a pleasure to use. It's intuitive. By bringing time and billing into one program, we have had a massive increase in invoicing with the same workload. The real-time information on profitability of projects is enlightening. ArchiOffice has pushed us to work faster and made our practice far more profitable."
Jake Edgley — Edgley Design

Andrew Rook — Clearscapes

"We use ArchiOffice mostly for laying out the project's contractual terms for the bills, tracking time, and generating invoices. These tasks used to take us a lot of time and switching between multiple software programs. With ArchiOffice we can just push a few buttons and get a report and analysis of our project finances."

"ArchiOffice makes it possible to have all aspects of managing the architectural office in one place. Along with our accounting software you really don't need anything else to successfully run the office."
Baldo Jurisic Studio Alamat — Dubrovnik, Neretva, Croatia
Dubrovnik, Neretva, Croatia
"It is not an exaggeration to say that ArchiOffice has revolutionized our office and the way we work. We are glad we invested in ArchiOffice, and have been amazed by the results. We knew that ArchiOffice would be a huge step for us, as previously we did everything on paper, had no database of contacts, and a very poor project management program that was only available to two employees that worked part time. It has taken some getting used to but it is fair to say that everyone can now see how useful ArchiOffice is and as a company we have embraced all aspects of the program.
There is of course a bedding-in period and ArchiOffice will be a steep learning curve for those who are new to it. However, Pam and Denise from support have been brilliant and very patient and are always available via email. The staff love filling in their time slips and it has sparked a little healthy competition ... who can be the most efficient? It certainly does make you think about your time. The biggest change for us has been the billing. It is now so easy to raise invoices and you know that they are accurate and justifiable."
