One model
for the project, the practice,
and the profit.
Built for practices whose projects don't fit a flat list, who resource across teams, disciplines, and roles — and bill more than one way on a single contract. The tools you've outgrown were built for none of that.

The Monument model
Three pillars. One model. No compromises.
Most tools force a compromise: a project with no real hierarchy, a schedule that resources by individual only, a finance tab that only knows hourly rates. Monument was built without those compromises. The project, the practice, and the profit — held in the same model.
Model the project, however deep it goes.
Most tools model a project as a flat list — a name, a deadline, and a row of tasks underneath. Real built-environment work doesn’t fit that shape. It nests: campus, building, discipline, stage, work package, deliverable. Monument holds every level, with versioned baselines, dependencies, and critical path at each. Lose the hierarchy, lose the shape of the work.
- Unlimited hierarchy — phases, sub-phases, work packages, deliverables
- Versioned baselines for fee variations and scope changes
- Gantt, dependencies, and critical path at every level
- Compare any two baselines side-by-side

Project Model
Resource the practice, not the project.
Most tools only resource by individual — you pick a name, you assign hours. Practices don’t plan that way. You staff by role, by discipline, by team — then resolve to an individual when you’re ready. Monument plans the practice in one view, with leave and public holidays baked into capacity, and time tracking and approvals feeding the same schedule. The plan and the actuals never drift apart.
- Allocate by role, discipline, team, location, or individual
- Practice-wide utilisation heatmaps across every project
- Leave and public holidays baked into capacity, not bolted on
- Catch over-allocation before it turns into burnout

Model the financials, however you bill.
Most tools assume one billing type — usually hourly rate. Real contracts mix everything: fixed fee for the design phases, a fixed monthly retainer for contract admin, hourly variations when scope shifts, progress claims tied to stage completion, subconsultants billed back at cost-plus. Monument models all of it in one project, with formulas for the way practices actually price work — % of construction cost, area-based, stage-weighted. Margin is a number you watch in real time, not discover at month-end.
- Every billing type — fixed fee, fixed monthly retainer, hourly, progress claim, milestone, time and materials
- Formula-driven fees — % of construction cost, area, or stage weighting
- Hourly variations and subconsultant fees tracked and billed back without leaving the model
- Live P&L by project, phase, and client — invoicing and Xero/QuickBooks sync built in

Why practices switch — and stay.
"The customer service offered by Monument is very impressive. They answer all of our queries in a timely manner and, most importantly, are responsive to our suggestions."
"This is the Holy Grail for any practice running on projects. Being able to plan my practice month-by-month is critical to staying on top of cashflow."
"It's amazing how frequently Monument is updated with new features, and often at my own request. It's great to be able to shape the tool for my own needs!"
Built for architecture, engineering & planning.
Six disciplines, one shape: phased fees, consultant scopes, multi-year construction observation. Monument was built around how the built environment actually delivers — not retrofitted to fit it.
Architecture practices
SD/DD/CD/CA, consultant scopes, fee variations.
Engineering practices
Multi-discipline, stage gates, subconsultants.
Planning consultancies
Statutory phases, hourly with caps, multi-jurisdiction matters.
Landscape architects
AILA-aligned phases, soft & hard scopes, long construction observation.
Interior design studios
Concurrent fit-outs, fast variations, fee-earner billing.
Quantity surveyors
Cost plans, bills of quantities, multi-year contract admin.
You don't run one project. You don't staff by individual alone. You don't bill one way. See what a tool that gets that feels like. 14-day free trial.
