BaseBuilders

BaseBuilders provides business software for architecture and engineering practices, with invoicing at its core. The company's view is that design firms struggle less with producing invoices than with scattered billing data, late timesheets and missed scope changes, so it links time, projects and contracts directly to the bill.

What BaseBuilders offers

• Rocket Billing — drafts invoices for many projects in one batch, handling fixed-fee, hourly and not-to-exceed contracts.
• Scope tracking — monitors additional services and not-to-exceed limits, flagging overruns and unbilled work before invoices go out.
• Projects and time — project management, time tracking, resource planning and financial metrics.
• Proposals and accounting — proposals, subconsultant management, A/E accounting, cash flow and receivables.

Who it works with

Small architecture and engineering firms that want to move off spreadsheets; the company says more than 2,000 design firms use it.
