Architecture practice management software for Indian studios
Design phases, fees, RFIs, and timesheets — in one studio.
Blueprint for architecture: phased fee schedules, RFI and submittal tracking, drawing versioning, timesheet-to-invoice conversion, and GST-compliant billing for Indian design studios.
Built for the way studios bill
Architecture fees in India rarely fit a one-price model. You might bill by phase (concept, schematic, DD, CD, admin), by a lump sum against a scope, or by hourly rate for consulting work. Blueprint handles all three.
Phased fee billing
Create milestones that map to design phases; attach a fee percentage to each; bill as RA bills when each phase signs off. The cumulative amount on the RA bill matches the sum of all prior phase billings — no manual reconciliation.
RFIs and submittals
Track RFIs with project, status, assignee, and response time. Submittals with their review rounds. All visible inside the project timeline, not buried in email.
Drawings, versioned
Your issued-for-construction set is not the same as your 90% CD set. Blueprint's drawing module captures each revision with SHA-256 checksums, uploaded by designer, reviewable by PM and owner. No more "which folder was the latest?"
Timesheets that become invoices
For studios billing hourly, the timesheet module converts approved billable entries into a draft invoice — GST + TDS applied — in one click. Your team reports hours; your finance team issues.
GST, TDS, DPDP
India-first from day one: CGST+SGST or IGST auto-split, TDS Section 194C computed, invoice numbering sequenced within the April–March FY, and DPDP Act 2023 compliant data handling.
Who this is for
- Solo to 50-person architecture practices.
- Interior design studios with mixed hourly + fee work.
- Heritage conservation practices with complex phase billing.
Yes. Every invoice captures supplier + buyer GSTIN, state codes, and auto-splits CGST+SGST (intrastate) vs IGST (interstate). Invoices are numbered sequentially within the financial year (April–March) and include all mandatory GSTR-1 fields. TDS under Section 194C is computed automatically.
RA bills carry cumulative and previous-cumulative amounts, reference the previous RA bill, and maintain a sequential RA number per project. This is a first-class invoice type — not a workaround on top of standard invoices.
Yes. Most teams onboard a pilot project in under an hour and run Blueprint alongside existing tools for a month. Bulk imports for vendors, BOQ items, and historical invoices are available on Studio and Enterprise plans.
