Workspace feature, Connect expenses to people

Know what it cost.
Know who it came from.

When an architect, contractor, stylist, photographer or other external professional quotes a cost, connect that expense directly to the person inside the project. The amount feeds into the live budget and stays attached to the professional who provided it.

Add the professional.
Record the quote.
Update the budget.

Why it matters

Every project cost should keep its context.

Instead of entering a generic expense and later trying to remember who it belonged to, Workspace keeps the quote, professional and budget impact connected from the start.

01

Select the professional.

Choose an architect, contractor, stylist or other external member already saved to the project.

02

Record their quote once.

Add what they are charging and what the cost covers without rebuilding it in another spreadsheet.

03

Update the budget automatically.

The expense changes committed spend and the remaining client budget immediately.

From person, to quote, to budget, to invoice.

The professional and their cost stay connected through the project, so the same information can later be selected when creating the client invoice.

Connected expenses inside Workspace

Every cost,
with context.

Connect external professional quotes to the people who provided them and keep the project budget accurate.
