About

Factor AE is an intuitive firm management platform designed specifically for architecture and engineering companies to streamline project tracking, time entry, invoicing, and overall firm visibility. It allows firms to break down projects into fixed fee, hourly, and non-billable phases, facilitating detailed employee time and budget tracking at any level. The platform supports sub-consultant and expense tracking, either within project fees or separately, without compromising invoice simplicity. Factor AE enables firms to set timelines, create milestones, assign tasks, and schedule resources, ensuring client deadlines are met while optimizing resource utilization. It provides at-a-glance project status views, allowing for easy comparison of budgets and schedules to actuals by phase, revenue forecasting, and proactive adjustments to prevent minor issues from escalating.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The time savings alone makes it worth it. It's so easy to use and the output is consistent for every project.
  • No pros at all. I could redline it faster than this software

Cons

  • Nothing that I can think of, but more of a feature request. I wish the Revit integration would drive keynotes back into the model. I understand why it's not setup this way, but it would be great consider this for any future updates.
  • Doesn't Spell Check even the word Architect Formatting is so basic I have to clean up afterword to make it look decent Have to wait forever for it to update before exporting Just plain inferior to MasterSpec
