Who it's for
Pick your kind of business to see how we serve it.
Architecture
For: Architecture firms designing buildings across all project types
We run the whole practice around the project and its phases — the fee schedule, the percent-complete billing, the drawing-set versions and the consultant team — so nothing bills twice, nothing ships from an old set, and scope creep gets authorized before it eats your fee. Clients review and mark up drawings in a portal and see exactly where their project and invoices stand. Behind the scenes a Fixila tech keeps your workstations, servers, backups and the firm's CAD and BIM data secure and fast.
The challenges you know
Billing is phase-based and percent-complete, and getting invoices right every month by hand is painful.
Someone issues from an old drawing set and the firm eats the coordination fallout.
Clients ask for extras mid-phase and the work gets done before anyone authorizes the additional fee.
What you get with Fixila Ops
- Phase-based percent-complete billing (SD/DD/CD/CA) that generates invoices as phases progress
- Drawing-set version control with a current-set flag and full issue history
- Transmittal log that date-stamps every set and document sent out
- Additional-services authorization that captures e-sign before extra work begins
- Sub-consultant coordination with deliverables, due dates and pass-through invoices
- Client portal for drawing review, markup and approval tied to each phase
The rest of Fixila behind you
- Fixila SB — fully managed IT with the horsepower and storage CAD and BIM firms need
- Fixila Guardian — endpoint, email and DNS security that protects project files and client data
- Fixila Shield — pen testing and compliance checks that keep sensitive project data defensible
- Fixila Studio — a portfolio-grade website and marketing that win the projects you want
Why Fixila is the right choice
- Phase billing that is right. Percent-complete invoices generate per phase instead of being rebuilt by hand each month.
- Always the current set. Version control and transmittals mean nobody issues from an old drawing.
- Scope creep authorized. Additional services are e-signed before the work starts, so the fee follows.
- Built for design firms. SD/DD/CD/CA phases, RFIs, submittals and consultants are in the box.
- Horsepower behind you. Fixila keeps CAD and BIM workstations fast, backed up and secure.
Civil engineering
For: Civil engineering firms doing site, land-development and infrastructure work
Civil projects run on phases, agency submittals and long schedules, so we center the firm on the project with percent-complete billing, submittal and RFI tracking, and drawing-set control that keeps the plan set straight through revisions. Clients and agencies get a clean record of what was issued and when. A Fixila tech keeps the firm's workstations, survey data and project files secure and backed up behind the scenes.
The challenges you know
Projects bill by phase over many months and manual percent-complete invoicing eats admin time.
Agency submittals and resubmittals pile up and tracking what is in whose court is a mess.
Plan-set revisions multiply and someone works from a superseded sheet.
What you get with Fixila Ops
- Phase-based percent-complete billing mapped to civil project phases
- Submittal and RFI logs with ball-in-court status and response-due dates
- Drawing-set version control with current-set flags through every revision

- One local team. Software, IT, storage and security from a single Colorado company.
Structural
For: Structural engineering firms designing building and structure systems
Structural work is calculation-heavy, deeply coordinated with architects and other engineers, and revision-prone, so we center the firm on the project with percent-complete billing, submittal and RFI tracking, and version control that keeps calculations and drawings tied to the current set. Clients and the design team see what was issued and when. A Fixila tech keeps the analysis workstations, project files and backups secure and fast behind the scenes.
The challenges you know
Coordination with the architect and other disciplines generates RFIs that are hard to track to resolution.
Revisions to calcs and drawings multiply and keeping the issued set authoritative is a chore.
Additional analysis gets requested mid-project and the extra fee never gets authorized.
