DO WHAT YOU LOVE!DESIGN VS PRACTICE MANAGEMENTYou are an architect, engineer or construction design professional. You design for a living and you love it. It’s understandable you’d rather poke your eyes out with a blunt stick than spend hours on timesheets, budgets or invoicing. Sadly, your practice won’t succeed without these important business processes. So how do you make sure both you and your practice survive? Luckily, it’s the 21st century and we have the technology – practice management software. Give yourself more time to do what you love (no excuses).

COMMON MYTHS DEBUNKEDSPREADSHEETS DO THE SAME JOB
PRACTICE TOO SMALL? NO TIME, TOO BUSY
Spreadsheets are ok for ad-hoc analysis by a few people. They are not suitable for running a practice. Processes like budgeting and reporting require collaboration, accuracy and security. How much time is spent updating spreadsheets? Will the error in cell AO117 ever be noticed? Whereis the audit trail?
Most Australian businesses are small. Practice management software reduces practice overheads by completing routine work accurately and quickly. A well implemented system is an ongoing source of costs savings and business improvements. It also gives practices an edge over less forward-thinking competitors.
Time is a scarce commodity for everybody these days – it’s finite and always in great demand. Don’t become too busy on small tasks rather than tackling important projects like software review and implementation. ‘Some-day’ is a disease that will kill your dreams. If it’s important, put it on the practice ‘must do’ list and schedule the time and resourcesto tackle it.
90%ofAEC practiceshave less than25 staff.
