Architects price as a percentage of construction cost, a fixed fee per work stage (such as RIBA Plan of Work stages in the UK or AIA phases in the US), or hourly for small commissions. Recording hours against each stage shows whether the fee covered the effort, and gives you evidence for additional services when the brief changes.

A few minutes at the end of each day beats an hour of guesswork at the end of the week, and recovers time you’d otherwise forget to bill.
Knowing your non-billable hours shows where time really goes and whether your prices cover it.
An approved timesheet behind every hours-based invoice means fewer queries and faster payment.
Recording hours against each work stage shows whether a stage’s fee covered the effort. It’s the basis for pricing the next project accurately and for claiming additional services.
