I think the fact that we develop as well as design, shows we know another side, a client&#8217;s side to projects. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">When we do our own development projects, we do the interiors. We make our own joinery. We are the contractors. We even do some of the manufacturing ourselves.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For the Edgley Design team the ideas that come out of their self-built projects, go into clients&#8217; projects \u2014 where they don\u2019t have as much time, they use ideas they&#8217;ve already developed. Clients get the benefit of all the time and research undertaken in their development projects.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cIf you want projects to be well-resolved, then a lot of time goes into it.

Edgley Design\u2019s detailed and bespoke approach to each project, needed a tailored but flexible software system to support it.

However, over the past five years, that software has generalized \u2014 broadening its scope to encompass all industries. In the process, Jake says, \u201cit lost that fundamental stage-based structure\u201d.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you&#8217;re running architecture projects, the whole thing, in terms of timekeeping and billing, it&#8217;s all about the stage nature of projects.

That means a software solution that caters specifically to the project, phase, and stage-centric nature of the industry. For Edgley Design it means they can utilize the platform\u2019s flexible rate groups and stage budgets to reflect the particular details of each project.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Lockdown \u2014 the perfect time for transforming<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Jake took Edgley Design and implemented Synergy in 2020, as the global pandemic took hold. \u201c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">I actually jumped on it because the lockdown was such a good time to do it \u2014 there was a couple of months when all of our work ground to a halt, it was much easier to change software while we weren&#8217;t right in the middle of a lot of projects<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Jake explained that the covid-19 pandemic meant they had the time for setting Synergy up properly. Working through the business and project management software one layer at a time, Jake says, \u201cthere\u2019s a lot of functionality there \u2014 we&#8217;re just working through one section at a time. One of the things I like about Synergy, I think their help files are really good, and mostly you can work through it on your own. If not, the support team are amazingly willing to help.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The cloud is crucial<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">2020 saw everything move online, and into the cloud. Jake says that was definitely \u201cone positive part of the year\u201d.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cWith our previous software we were already doing the timekeeping and billing in the cloud, but now we&#8217;re on Microsoft Teams and we&#8217;re actually all drawing on our iPads and everything&#8217;s totally electronic.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Jake says this cloud-based structure of their entire business makes that element of Synergy an essential component of the software for them. After all, the cloud is where everything is now. \u201c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">I like that in Synergy, you can open multiple windows\u201d he says. \u201cI&#8217;ll often have a couple of screens, and if I&#8217;m doing something tricky, I might have two sets of information on two screens, and it still works. It doesn&#8217;t crash when you do that. That&#8217;s perfect.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Timesheets that staff actually like<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">It\u2019s commonly understood across the AEC industry that getting staff to enter their timesheets is just plain hard. We could wax lyrical about why, but the point is, anything that helps them submit their time, helps your whole business. Jake knows this well.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cIt sounds like a small thing, but my staff really like the one-week timesheets. The whole thing revolves around people doing timesheets. If people don&#8217;t do timesheets, nothing else works. And it is easier to get them to do a whole week \u2014 some of them are using timers as well. It\u2019s all a lot easier for them.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Project task lists keep resource time in the right place<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">From a management perspective, Jake says the principal importance of Synergy software lies in billing. In view of that, he has spent time carefully setting up Synergy in a way that works for his team and their priorities.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cWe&#8217;ve set up a list of project tasks, and there&#8217;s only four or five in each stage. Each of those tasks is also a heading we use in our fee proposals.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Additionally, Edgley\u2019s set up means every project has the same task list \u2014 and no one is able to enter in items like, \u2018I was on the phone\u2019. It\u2019s that sort of discipline that means the business can run reports and see how the time spent on a project compares to what they quoted.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cI spend time making sure that in projects, staff can only enter time against the stages that they&#8217;re supposed to be\u201d, says Jake, \u201cand that really helps, because the hardest thing to manage is moving time around if people have put it in the wrong place.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-12491\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/150729_Edgley_PearTreeHouse_002-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/150729_Edgley_PearTreeHouse_002-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/150729_Edgley_PearTreeHouse_002-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/150729_Edgley_PearTreeHouse_002-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/150729_Edgley_PearTreeHouse_002-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/150729_Edgley_PearTreeHouse_002.jpg 1404w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Results<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The future is bright for Edgley Design<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Apart from getting out of London lockdown, Jake and the Edgley Design team have a lot to look forward to.

That&#8217;s really what it&#8217;s all about. It&#8217;s often about taking simple, cheap, ordinary materials, and making them into something beautiful and functional through the process of design. Crafting and making as much as we can ourselves.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Jake spends a lot of his time either sketching things or managing the Edgley Design office. \u201cWhat enables us to do the projects we do is having a lot of systems for things\u201d, he says. \u201cTo be honest, a lot of it is specific to architecture, and most of it needs to be adaptable to the specifics of each project.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Tailored, but flexible.
