Everything a design and planning practice needs to run its projects

Quotes that become projects

Prepare quotes with options and revisions. When a client accepts, the project, its stages and its payment schedule are created automatically.

Staged payments and cash forecasting

Set payment stages and invoice dates, and see at any time what has been invoiced, what has been received and what is still to come.

Planning applications

Track applications and their milestones on the project timeline, alongside the rest of the work.

Time recording against fee

Timesheets with manager approval, and project health measures that show the budget consumed against the fee as work progresses.

Resource planning

A weekly project review, a capacity view by person, and a forecast of the effect on your team before you accept new work.

Variations

Price a change, obtain approval and have the client sign it online. The additional hours are allocated to the person responsible.

Client portal

Clients can sign quotes, view invoices with your payment details, send messages and share documents. Your team's internal notes remain private.

Invoicing, Xero and AI assistance

Issue invoices from Projexa or send drafts to Xero. Ask questions about your projects and finances, and draft quotes, meeting notes and reports with AI assistance.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Projexa for?
Projexa is built for small and growing UK design and planning consultancies that manage several projects at once, with staged fees and planning applications. Architects, planners, surveyors and similar practices are well suited. There is no limit on users or projects, and the price per user falls from the eleventh. It has been used most by practices of up to around 20 people, so if you are larger, try it with your real projects during the free trial.
How does the free trial work?
The trial lasts 30 days with every feature enabled. A card is requested at sign-up so that service continues when the trial ends. It is not charged until then, and you can cancel at any time before.
Are there different plans?
No. There is a single plan with every feature included. The price depends only on the number of users.
Who owns our data, and can we export it?
Your practice owns its data. The account Owner can export everything stored in Projexa as a single file at any time.
Does Projexa include AI features?
Yes. An assistant answers questions about your projects and finances, and helps draft quotes, meeting notes and progress reports. It makes suggestions only: nothing changes until you accept it. Each practice has a monthly usage allowance.
