# FABA — For Architects, By Architects

> FABA (an acronym for "For Architects, By Architects") is an operations and AI
> platform for the AEC industry — architecture, engineering and construction. It
> is built by people with real experience in the field, for the way practices
> actually work, and is hosted on EU-based servers.

FABA replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets and disconnected tools that
architecture and engineering practices use to run finance, business development,
staffing and project delivery — giving one connected view on desktop and mobile.

## What the name means

FABA = **F**or **A**rchitects, **B**y **A**rchitects. Unlike generic practice
software written by people who have never sat in a studio at fee-proposal time,
FABA is built from real AEC field experience — knowing how a project is won,
staffed, drawn and billed — and that experience is baked into every screen.

## What FABA does

- **Finance & forecasting**: revenue forecasting, fee-expectation tracking,
  likelihood-weighted pipeline, quarterly results and profit-margin tracking.
- **Business development**: a visual pipeline where each opportunity carries a
  probability-weighted fee, so the forecast reflects what is likely to be commissioned.
- **Time & scheduling**: timesheets, studio schedules and capacity, connected to
  projects and billing.
- **Projects & delivery**: projects, clients, contracts, portfolios and drawing lists.
- **Payroll & invoicing**: payroll, invoices and incoming invoices.
- **AI for the practice**: AI workflows and an assistant tuned to AEC work.

## Data & hosting

- **EU-hosted**: servers and data residency in the European Union; your practice's
  data stays in Europe (GDPR-aligned).
- Per-tenant database isolation, role-based access control, and single sign-on
  (Microsoft, Google, magic link).

## Who it is for

Architecture and engineering practices that want operations and finance in a
single system built around how AEC studios actually work.
