Keito helps architects and architecture firms capture billable project hours, separate non-billable design exploration, and produce reviewed billing summaries across every phase.

Per-project phase breakdown
Architecture billing spans months and multiple phases. Keito keeps the billing record clean across every phase without requiring a billing sprint at handover.
Record time by client, project, and team member role so billing reports reflect actual team composition without needing a separate tracking system per person.
Give project leads a combined view of who worked on what, what is billable, and whether the team effort matches the client story before invoice prep starts.
Produce summaries that explain team effort by deliverable, milestone, or service area so clients understand what they are paying for.
Architecture billing
Architecture projects span multiple phases — concept, schematic design, design development, construction documents, and site supervision — and billing accuracy depends on capturing time by phase. Keito gives architects a per-project, per-phase view of billable work with a review step before each invoice, so the billing summary matches the phase deliverable.
Tag time by client, project, and phase so billing reflects actual work scope
Separate billable design and delivery from non-billable design exploration and research
Review time by project phase before invoices are prepared
Workflow fit
Keito keeps time tracking software for architects connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

Keito flat pricing means project leads can add contractors, specialists, and reviewers without facing a billing escalation each time the delivery team changes composition.
Keito is designed for teams who move fast. It captures the minimum needed for billing accuracy: client, project, task, and billable status, without turning every entry into a form.
Project leads can see all team contributions to a client engagement, not just their own entries, so the billing review is a single step rather than an aggregation exercise.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
Phase tracking
Time tracked per project phase and client milestone.
Generic timers lose phase context in project billing.
Invoice evidence
Reviewed phase records support client billing conversations.
Reconstructed timesheets are difficult to defend at project close.
Team pricing
Flat plan covers the full design team at one rate.
Per-seat tools grow in cost with every new associate added.
Architects should track time by client, project, and project phase so billing summaries reflect the actual scope of work completed at each stage.
Non-billable time includes internal design exploration, business development, team meetings, site visits not covered by the client agreement, and professional development.
Teams can set up projects with phases that mirror their stage structure — concept, design, technical, construction, handover — and track time against each phase to produce stage-specific billing summaries.
