A design commission runs for months in phases: sketch, permit, execution drawings, site supervision. Alladdin gives each phase its budget and hours, and lets you invoice when a deliverable is approved, so fees follow the work.
Create a project per commission and split it into phases, each with its own budget. Your team logs hours against the phase they work on, so you see where the time goes while there is still time to adjust.
Phase-level budgets
A budget for each phase, with spend tracked as it happens.
Time per phase
Timers and timesheets, with billable and non-billable hours.
Plans and documents on the project
Drawings, permits and site notes stored with the job.
Agree the fee in a quote, then define the milestones that trigger each invoice: concept approved, permit filed, execution drawings delivered. For long assignments, bill a percentage of completion instead.
Milestone triggers
Define billing milestones and create the invoice once the deliverable is approved.
Progress billing
Several invoices from one accepted quote, each for a percentage of the fee.
Credit notes for corrections
Fix an invoice with a credit note instead of overwriting it.
Record the invoices of surveyors, structural engineers, labs and other partners against the project they belong to. Compare actual costs with the estimate and see the margin of the commission before it closes.
Subcontractor tracking
Their invoices and payments against each project budget.
Material and expense costs
Log them and compare with the initial estimate.
Cash-flow forecast
What clients owe and what you owe, by due date.
Reports compare fees, hours and costs by project, client or period. Price your next proposal on what similar jobs really took.
Budget against actual
Hours and costs against the fee, per project.
Workload per person
Who has room this week and who is stretched.
Yes. Create several invoices from one accepted quote and set the amount of each, for example 30% at the start.
You define the milestone and the invoice it triggers, and Alladdin prepares it. Review it before sending, as with any invoice.
Yes. Hours are logged on a project and its tasks, with a rate per person if you want costs valued.
Yes, through the client portal. See client portal.
No. Alladdin is the business side: quotes, hours, costs, invoices and accounts. Files can be attached to a project, but design software stays separate.
Open a project for your next commission, set the phases and send the first milestone invoice.
