Frequently asked questions
What is AEC software?
AEC software refers to business management solutions designed specifically for architecture, engineering and construction firms. Unlike generic tools, AEC software typically combines project management, financial tracking, resource planning, time and expense capture, and billing into one platform, so firms can manage the full project lifecycle from bid through to completion.
What should architecture firms look for in business software?
Software for architecture firms should support project-based accounting, flexible billing (including milestone, time-and-materials and fixed-fee models), resource scheduling by skill set, and real-time project reporting. It also needs to handle the specific financial structures common to architecture practices, such as multi-entity billing and multiple fee arrangements on a single project.
How does ERP software help engineering companies?
An ERP for engineering companies connects your financial, project and people data in one system. This gives leaders a real-time view of project profitability, resource availability and cash flow. It also reduces the manual reporting and reconciliation work that slows down finance teams, and provides the flexibility to handle complex billing models, multi-entity structures and global operations.
Can Unit4 support multi-entity and global project billing?
Yes. Unit4's platform allows you to create invoices from multiple legal entities on the same project, manage complex billing structures across geographies, and handle multi-currency transactions. This is particularly valuable for AEC firms working on large cross-border projects.
