Practice intelligence built for how practices really operate. We’ve worked with 500+ architecture and engineering firms over 20 years. This is what works:
One platform for the whole practice
Fees, resourcing, time, invoicing, email, and documents in one place. Everything’s entered once, so nobody’s doubling up in spreadsheets.
A clear view of what's coming
Profitability by stage, capacity against pipeline, and cash on the way - updated as your team logs time. Make the call while there’s still time to change the outcome.
Easy for the entire team
Quick timesheets, simple project updates, and reports project leads can run themselves. The whole practice uses it, and finance spends less time chasing.
CMap intelligence
AI takes the admin,
you take the craft.
The answers are already in your practice. CMap Intelligence puts them to work, pricing quotes, planning your team, and pulling reports together, so your people spend more time on design. All on your own project data, inside your permissions.

Designed for how practices work
Agents across quoting, resourcing, invoicing, and reporting do the legwork with you. Price the next job from what similar projects really cost, staff it with the right people, and raise the invoice when the stage is done.
Ask your practice anything
Which jobs are running hot? Who’s free next month? What’s ready to bill? Ask CMap Chat and get answers drawn from every fee, timesheet, email, and drawing on your project record.
Your data, in the AI you already use
Connect Claude, Copilot and your other AI tools to CMap. Your team gets trusted answers where they already work, with your permissions intact.
