One line from fee proposal to invoice.

InkLine breaks an architecture contract's fee into tasks, puts them on one master schedule, assigns them to the team, logs the hours, and drafts the invoice every month. Revit production tasks stay in step with the online schedule.

Linked to Revit

Production tasks update in Revit and report back to InkLine

InkLine → Revit

  • Production tasks sync into Revit as a task list, by assignee
  • The Gantt opens as a window inside Revit
  • Due dates and milestones

Revit → InkLine

  • Task status and % complete set by the team member
  • Time logged from inside Revit
  • Progress evidence: sheet counts, sheets issued

Never written into the model

  • Fees, rates and invoices stay in InkLine
  • Each project connects with a revocable token
What it does

Built for an architecture practice's professional fee

Fee estimating

Area, construction-cost %, hours and per-visit construction administration, compared side by side before you choose.

Master schedule & allocation

One task set, two views: Gantt and list. Unallocated fee is always visible.

Time & rates

Each member has an effective-dated billing rate. Approved hours land on the task.

Monthly invoicing

Fixed-fee, hourly and capped-hourly contracts. Two parts: the invoice and the hours record, with a statement of account.

Payments & retainers

Record receipts, hold and apply retainers, issue credit notes.

Exports

Excel (schedule, time, fee report, invoice), PDF invoice, and the QuickBooks Online invoice import CSV.
