Aurian costs every stage against its fee while the work is happening, flags the over-run in week two rather than at the fee note, and writes up every change for your approval. It also answers the enquiry inbox, prices fees the way you do, runs RIBA 0 to 7 or whatever stage plan you work to, and gives your client a page in your brand they will actually open. Everyone at the practice included, one price.
The extension that grew, the client who changed the kitchen twice, the site visits nobody counted. The fee note went out on the original scope because nobody had time to write up the change while it was happening, and the over-run only became visible once it was history. Aurian writes it up while it is happening, and shows you the number while you can still act on it.
Every person and every stage on one screen, costed as it runs. You see the over-run before it happens and you know whether the next commission fits before you take it.
Drafted while it happens, approved by you, accepted by the client, and on the fee note on its own line, rolled into the next stage, or spread across the rest. Your choice, never absorbed.
Overview, documents, design, progress, payments, snags, team and messages, in your colours, at your domain. No login, no password, one link.
Qualified with your questions, answered in your tone within minutes, visit booked from your diary. The enquiry that used to go cold on a Friday now has a Thursday in it.
Your own appointment stages, or RIBA 0 to 7 as a template if that is what you work to. Fee proposals by fixed fee, percentage, time or retainer per stage, rendered on your own layout. Capacity against fee for every stage, with the over-run flagged before it happens. Consultant and contractor guests scoped to one project. Xero, two-way.
On a 12-month term, ex VAT. Put it against the fees at risk rather than against a salary: one stage over-run you charged instead of absorbing, on one commission, pays for the year.
