Our Billing Philosophy

Our billing philosophy has been developed and refined through more than 40 years of experience operating a professional drafting and BIM coordination business.

Throughout those years, we have learned that successful project management requires more than technical expertise and quality workmanship. It also requires sound financial management, responsible planning, and a commitment to fair business practices.

One of the most important lessons we have learned concerns the relationship between project billing, remaining workload, and available funding.

Early in our company’s history, we discovered that billing ahead of actual project progress can create an artificial sense of financial security. Although collecting revenue in advance may temporarily improve cash flow, it can also create an imbalance between the money received and the work remaining to be performed.

Eventually, a company can find itself with substantial unfinished work and little additional revenue available to support its completion.

That experience helped shape a philosophy we have developed and refined over more than four decades.

We believe in billing our customers fairly, based on the actual progress of their projects.

This approach serves two equally important purposes.

First, it ensures that our customers are billed appropriately for the services we have performed.

Second, it helps maintain a healthy balance between our remaining workload and the funding available to complete that work.

In a labor-intensive business such as drafting and BIM coordination, this balance is particularly important. Our employees must continue producing drawings, coordinating systems, and meeting project commitments throughout the life of each contract.

By keeping our billing aligned with actual production, we maintain a clearer understanding of our financial position, anticipated revenue, staffing requirements, and remaining contractual obligations.

We recognize that money collected today for work that must be performed tomorrow represents an obligation, not necessarily a financial advantage.

Our philosophy is based on a simple principle:

The revenue remaining on our projects should remain reasonably proportional to the work we still have to perform.

We believe this approach promotes financial stability, responsible workload management, and the long-term reliability our customers deserve.

After more than 40 years in business, we understand that maintaining financial discipline is just as important as maintaining technical excellence.

Fair billing is more than an accounting practice. It is a business philosophy developed through decades of experience and an essential part of our commitment to our customers.
