11 years building the project management software I wished we'd had.
I'm Ryan King — founder of Monument, based in Melbourne, Australia.
Why Monument Exists
Early in my career I worked at an architecture practice that, like most, recorded time but had no real way to turn that data into anything useful. Whether a project was actually profitable was anyone's guess until it was too late.
We cobbled together spreadsheets, but they broke constantly — version conflicts, broken formulas, numbers nobody trusted. And the project management tools on the market couldn't model how architectural projects actually work: large scopes, multiple phases, varying fee structures, and real financial complexity underneath all of it.
So I started building. That was 11 years ago. The first product, Coincraft, has been used by architecture firms across Australia and taught me what firms actually need — versus what software companies think they need.
Monument is everything we've learned, rebuilt from the ground up. Every feature exists because a client asked for it. The schedule, resourcing, time tracking, invoicing, and financials all work together because the system was designed as one coherent whole — not bolted together after the fact.
What Drives Monument
Built from a decade of real feedback
Every feature in Monument traces back to a conversation with a firm that needed it. Not a product roadmap designed to win feature comparisons — real problems that practices face running complex projects, solved one at a time over 11 years.
Complex capabilities, simple experience
Your projects have real depth — multiple phases, disciplines, fee types, and reporting needs. Monument handles that complexity so you're not wrestling with the tool on top of the work itself.
Insight for better decisions
The point isn't to give you more data. It's to help you assess your projects, understand your business, and make informed decisions — before small problems become expensive ones.
One connected system
Monument was rebuilt from scratch so that scheduling, resourcing, time tracking, invoicing, and financial reporting all live in one place. Change one thing and everything else updates. No exports, no reconciliation, no gaps.
