How should we manage fee invoicing across long RIBA project stages to maintain steady cash flow?
We help practices align their cloud bookkeeping systems with stage payments (Concept, Planning, Technical Design, Construction) so you can track work-in-progress (WIP), identify unbilled time early, and maintain steady liquidity between major project milestones.
What professional subscriptions and costs can architects claim as tax expenses?
Qualifying practice expenses include mandatory ARB (Architects Registration Board) retention fees, RIBA membership, Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII), specialist CAD/3D rendering software subscriptions (Revit, Vectorworks, AutoCAD), and project-related site travel.
Can architectural practices claim R&D Tax Relief for innovative building designs?
Yes. If your practice develops bespoke structural methodologies, overcomes complex planning/environmental challenges with novel material applications, or advances sustainable building technology beyond standard industry knowledge, those costs can qualify for R&D tax credits.
