By PLANIT Innovations
Practice management that knows what a conservation area is.
TILE runs your architecture or planning practice end to end: site constraints from a postcode, planning applications tracked, documents drafted, fees and invoices handled. Built in Darlington by people who run a practice with it every day.
"I spent 20 years looking for this tool. It didn't exist. So I built it."

Try TILE in your browser
See TILE turn a WhatsApp into a quote — without leaving this page.
Pick an example, or paste your own client message.
Demo runs entirely in your browser with hard-coded data for these three sample sites. Inside TILE, constraint data comes live from Historic England, the Environment Agency and Planning.Data.gov.uk for any UK address. Fee suggestions inside TILE are AI-generated based on anonymised industry benchmarks — these demo numbers are illustrative.
How it actually works
Add a job.
Type the address. We pull listed building status, flood zone, conservation area, every other constraint that matters.
Drop in the brief.
Paste an email, upload a PDF, or just type. The quote drafts itself.
Send it from your inbox.
Gmail or Outlook — your client sees an email from you, not from a SaaS app.
Let TILE do the chasing.
Replies log themselves. Daily digest. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Why not try it for yourself on our demo dashboard?
No sign-up. No credit card. Click into the dashboard below and have a play — add a job, move a card down the pipeline, draft a quote, or trigger an AI brief.
Administration earns nothing and risks everything.
Three hours a week on fee quotes is most of a working day every month — reclaim it.
Most practices run on spreadsheets, sticky notes, and memory. TILE replaces all of that.
How It Works
Every project is a Tile.
Each project is a card that moves left to right through your pipeline stages. Drag it. Everything else happens automatically.
Drag. Drop. Done.

Features
Six things TILE actually does for your practice.
Profession-specific pipelines on day one, with the same toolkit underneath.
Constraint checker
Postcode in, flags out.
Conservation areas, Article 4 directions, listed buildings, flood zones, TPOs and SSSIs, checked against planning.data.gov.uk in seconds. Every flag comes with its source so the answer is defensible, not just fast.
Included on every planPlanning application tracker
Hear about an objection before the client does.
TILE monitors your live applications, public comments and consultee responses across UK planning portals, and pings the matching job the moment something changes. No more refreshing a council site at 11pm.
Included on every planDocument drafting with Grout
First-pass drafts of the documents that swallow your week.
Heritage Statements, Design and Access Statements, Planning Statements, Flood Risk Assessments and Party Wall notices, drafted by our AI assistant from your project data and finished by you. Exported as PDF and editable Word so a principal can polish before it leaves the office.
Pro tierProject pipeline
Every job on one board, stage by stage.
Profession-specific pipelines on day one, with SOP checklists on each tile so nothing moves forward half-done. Drag a tile, fire the next set of actions.
Included on every planFees, invoicing and time
Quote it, bill it, know which jobs actually make money.
Generate fee proposals, raise invoices, and track time by RIBA stage against a target cost-per-hour. The dashboard tells you which jobs are profitable, which are bleeding, and where the next month's revenue is coming from.
Standard and ProOne document home
Everything for a project, in one place, found in one search.
Drag and drop drawings, reports, photos and contracts against the job they belong to. Connect Gmail and inbound and outbound emails are logged against the right project automatically, with action items pulled out by Grout.
