Stackd by DesignTIME

Internal visibility is key. The most important work in engineering and architecture firms is the least visible. It's not the drawings, site visits, or final deliverables. The work that actually holds everything together happens behind the scenes. Coordination, documentation, and internal communication. The conversations that clarify scope before it creeps up on you. The notes that explain why a decision was made. The updates that keep everyone aligned without needing another meeting. It's not flashy work. But it's the difference between projects that run smoothly and a project that slowly drifts off course. Most firms don't struggle because they lack talent. They struggle because the critical work isn't visible enough to manage it. If you can't see it, you can't track it. If you can't track it, you can't improve it. And that's where things start to break down. #Visibility #Engineering #Architecture #Stackd

Every firm in this industry leads with their projects. The portfolio. The renders. The finished photos. The award submissions. That's how you get noticed, and for good reason. Great work speaks for itself. But here's what the portfolio doesn't show. It doesn't show the proposal process that won the project in the first place. the fee structure that made it profitable. The project management that kept scope from quietly expanding. The invoicing that made sure you actually got paid. The finished product gets the credit. The process behind it rarely does. And for a while, that's fine. In the early days of a firm, you can run on talent, relationships, and sheer force of will. Most successful firms are built that way. What works for three projects running at once breaks down at eight. The systems that were "good enough" become the ceiling you can't grow past. The firms that scale aren't just doing better work. They're doing work better. Reputation opens the door. Process is what lets you walk through it consistently. #Engineering #Architecture #Stackd #BusinessOperations #Scalability

Hey Vancouver!! We're at AIBC, and today's your last chance to find us. 🙌 Booth #14, all day. Come talk Stackd, ask us hard questions, kick the tires. We built this for the way architecture firms actually work, and there's no better room to prove it than this one. Don't sleep on it. We're here. 👀 #Stackd #Architecture #AIBC2026 #Engineering #DesignTIME

Because why not? 🤷♂️ Stackd is built for the way your team actually works. Whether you are an engineering or architecture firm, we've built Stackd specifically around you workflows. Project management. Check. Compliance. Check. Invoicing. Check. Time Entry. Check. And there's more. If you want to see why Stackd would be a good fit for your firm book a demo 👇 https://lnkd.in/gv7Y4yz3 #WhyStackd #DesignTIME #Architecture #Operations

You're this close. 🤏 The spreadsheet has 14 tabs. Three of them are named 'Final.' One is named 'ACTUALLY FINAL.' Nobody remembers who built it. Nobody is allowed to touch it. And somehow... your entire practice runs on it. No judgement. We've all been there. But there's a better way. Want to learn more?

One person. Multiple roles. Multiple rates. In most firms, your best people aren't doing just one job. They're doing design work, reviewing drawings, coordinating projects, meeting with clients, sometimes all in the same day. But most tools still treat them like they fit into a single box. One role. One rate. So teams either simplify things (and lose accuracy), or absorb the difference. Stackd lets you assign multiple rate categories to a single user, so how your team actually works is reflected in how you actually bill. Because your most valuable people were never meant to be priced as just one thing.

Precision Writing recently had the opportunity to demo Stackd by DesignTIME — an ERP platform built specifically for engineering and architecture firms by Bruce Johnston, P. Eng., MIStructE and the team at DesignTIME. What stood out immediately: PPMP requirements are built directly into the platform. For firms navigating Engineers and Geoscientists BC and The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) compliance, that's not a small thing. Having regulatory structure embedded into your project management workflow — rather than managed separately — changes how teams approach compliance from the ground up. The platform also brings together project management, time tracking, invoicing, and collaboration tools in one place, designed for the way AEC firms actually operate. Alexandra Harrison was genuinely impressed. If your firm is looking for software that treats compliance as a core feature, not an afterthought, Stackd is worth a closer look. → stackdsolutions.ca A big thank you to Bruce for the opportunity to take it for a spin — and congratulations on the launch!

"I sent it." "I never got it." "Check your inbox." "It's not there." 😅 Every engineering and architecture firm has had this conversation. Most have had it more than once. Here's the thing, document delivery in the engineering and architecture industry actually matters. Wrong revisions, no timestamp, no confirmation. That's not just awkward. That's how disputes start. A transmittal isn't just admin box-ticking. It's proof. What went out, to who, and when. In Stackd, you can send transmittals directly from the platform, so there's always a record, and "I never got it" stops being anyone's problem. 🎯 Check out our other features 👉https://lnkd.in/gpfAVDuF #Stackd #Architecture #Engineering #Transmittals #Communication

Work and no play? No way 🙃 The Stackd team is on the ground at Web Summit Vancouver today. Founders, builders, tech people, the energy in the room is something else. If you spot us, come say hi! ✨ #Stackd #WebSummitVancouver #Tech #Software

Here we go again! 🎉 Year two at the Northern Angel Summit, and excited to share that Stackd has officially been selected as a Top 12 finalist. This year, we're coming back with even more clarity, momentum, and experience behind us. Same Stackd energy, slightly less deer-in-headlights energy. Over the last year, we've done a lot of listening, building, refining, and learning from the firms using Stackd every day. A big than you to the Northern Innovation Network (Formerly Hubspace) team for continuing to create opportunities like this for founders and startups across the North. Excited for what's ahead and grateful to be alongside such an incredible group of founders and companies. Follow along. 👇 #NAS #Stackd #Summit #Engineering #Architecture
