Capture every project hour
- Every hour mapped to the right project, phase, task, and labor code
- No Friday-afternoon timesheet reconstruction
- Specific narratives drawn straight from the work
- Billable and non-billable time captured in the same record
Timeglass for architecture & engineering
Every project hour lands on the right phase.
Timeglass captures the work behind every project hour and drafts an accurate timesheet against the right project, phase, task, and labor code—so utilization stays visible, phase budgets stay honest, and nobody reconstructs the week from memory.

Why it pays off
Manual timesheets hide project overruns until it is too late.
Traditional timekeeping leaves project hours uncounted and makes phase budgets look healthy long after the labor has been spent. Timeglass gives principals the real picture while there is still time to act.
Protect every phase budget
- Compare actual labor with budget by phase and discipline
- Catch overruns while there is still scope left to manage
- See utilization and workload across the whole studio
- Price the next proposal from real job-costing data
How it works
01 · Capture
The work becomes the timesheet.
Architects and engineers keep working the way they always have while Timeglass reads the real work behind each hour and turns it into an entry tagged to the right project, phase, task, and labor code, with the reason attached.

02 · Timesheets
Every timesheet writes itself as the project moves.
Each person lands on their own week with every entry already drafted and coded. Reviewing takes about a minute a day, and nothing reaches accounting or the project manager until the person who did the work approves it.

03 · Budgets
See every project and phase against budget.
The moment a phase starts burning labor faster than planned, you find out that same week—not after the invoice. Open any project to see percent complete, hours spent, and the work driving the variance across every discipline.

04 · Utilization
Balance utilization before workloads break.
See billable utilization by person, role, office, and discipline, then open any category to understand the meetings, revisions, coordination, and rework underneath it. Shift assignments before one team overruns while another sits underused.

Send time to your project system and ask it anything.
Approved time flows straight into Deltek, BQE CORE, Monograph, Unanet, or a spreadsheet with no copy and paste. Because the record is this detailed, you can ask Claude or ChatGPT which phases are burning budget fastest in plain language.

Principals get their week back from timesheets
Timeglass shows me where my time actually goes, from board meetings to diligence to everything in between, and I never log a thing. I now recommend every company we back to use it. It's a game changer.
