Architecture and Engineering Office Software: GBP, VAT and UK GDPR

Built around the way UK businesses work: pounds sterling, UK VAT, UK data protection and the payment methods your customers already use.

What you expect from office software

Hours do not reach the projects

Time records sit in Excel, fees are estimated and project profitability is learned at month-end.

Plan versions get mixed up

Which drawing is current gets lost between emails and folders; an old plan is used on site.

Minutes and tasks are scattered

Decisions from meetings and who does what cannot be followed and the same topic is discussed again.

One project’s journey from enquiry to final account

  1. 1. Enquiry to job

    Enquiry, offer and contract in one file.

  2. 2. Design to permit

    Phases, plans and documents are tracked.

  3. 3. Execution to acceptance

    Site, defects and acceptance recorded.

  4. 4. Closing to invoice

    Hours and phases become the final account.

How we work

  1. 1. We listen

    We listen closely to your business, goals and current systems and pin down together what the real problem is.

  2. 2. We plan

    We present scope, timeline and budget in writing, so what will and will not be done is clear from the start.

  3. 3. We design

    We show you the screens and flow before coding and proceed with your approval.

  4. 4. We build

    Not a ready-made template: we code it from scratch for you and share progress regularly.

  5. 5. We test

    We try every page and action in real use and check speed, security and appearance on all devices.

  6. 6. We launch and support

    We put your project live, train your team and then keep up updates, backups and technical support.

We bring your project to life: one country or the whole world

One country

We set the project up for a single market: local language, currency, tax rules and search settings.

Several countries

Each country gets its own address, language and content, so visitors see the right language in their own market.

The whole world

We serve in every language in the world; we can open your project globally, multilingual and multi-currency.

Why Globalsoft

Built around your firm

Built around your office workflow from scratch; you are not forced into a ready-made mould.

Made for the UK

GBP, UK VAT and UK data-protection thinking are built in from the start.

We stay with you after launch

We do not disappear after go-live: maintenance, updates, backups and 24/7 monitoring keep your system running.

World-class frontend

Your interfaces are designed and coded to the level of the best global products: fast, accessible and flawless on every screen.

Meticulous in every detail

Code review, testing and quality control are standard on every project; we skip no technical or visual detail.

Top-tier security

Security comes first in design: encryption, access control, regular security testing and data protection are built in from the start.

Speed and performance

Your pages load fast; performance is measured and continuously improved for user experience and search ranking.

Data, roles and security

Data protection

project, drawing and client records are protected by role-based access and deletion rules.

Roles and log

Management, staff and accounting work with separate permissions and key actions are logged.

Project files

Plans, documents, minutes and hours stay in the project file and are visible by permission.

Hosting and backup

Backups are taken regularly, restores are tested and the server is monitored.

Multilingual

Documents going out are prepared in the recipient’s language.

Connections

Connection options for your drawing (CAD) and accounting systems are clarified in writing up front.

Frequently asked questions

Do project phases follow SIA?

The phase structure follows the model your office uses; if SIA phases are used, they are defined.

How are fees calculated?

Fixed, percentage or hourly fees are defined; invoices are prepared from phases and hours.

Does it work with our CAD program?

Drawing files are managed and versioned; a direct link depends on the program and is clarified up front.

Can external specialists access it?

Yes; a limited access is defined where they see only their own tasks and documents.

Is there a client portal?

Optional; the client sees progress, documents and invoices through the portal.

Can the software work with UK accounting packages?

Yes. We can connect it to Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, or provide clean exports for your accountant.

Will you quote in pounds sterling?

Yes. Every quote is in GBP and states clearly what is and is not included.
