Everything Architects want to know

Everything you need to know about project management with Magnetic
What makes Magnetic different from other project management tools?
Unlike general task managers, Magnetic is purpose-built for architecture firms. It connects scopes, schedules, teams, and finances in one platform, helping you manage projects by phase, track fee drawdowns, assign resources intelligently, and protect your margins.
Can I track variations and scope changes?
Absolutely. Magnetic allows you to log, track, and manage variations throughout the project lifecycle, linking changes to updated fees, timelines, and deliverables, so you stay protected and profitable.
How does Magnetic help with fee tracking and profitability?
You can break down fees by stage, track how much work has been delivered vs. invoiced, and monitor project margins in real time. This helps you catch overservicing early and make better commercial decisions.
Does Magnetic support multi-project planning for teams?
Yes. You can view capacity across projects and roles, assign staff based on availability and skill, and avoid overload. It's ideal for firms where architects juggle multiple roles or projects.
Does Magnetic integrate with our accounting or time tracking systems?
Magnetic integrates with popular tools like Xero Sage, and more. You can also connect via Zapier to hundreds of apps. Time tracking is built-in, but integrations are available if you're using external systems.
