Quantim is a UK-built project management platform for construction, engineering, and professional services – developed and operated by Technology2 Ltd.
Quantim was not built in a vacuum. It was built in response to a problem that the founders observed firsthand: professional services firms — architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, consultants — were trying to manage complex, fee-sensitive projects using tools that were never designed for the job. Spreadsheets that did not talk to each other. Billing software disconnected from time records. Project data scattered across email threads and shared drives.
The result was always the same. Hours went unrecorded. Fees were undercharged. Projects that looked healthy on paper turned out to be loss-making when the final numbers came in. The people running these businesses were skilled professionals — not the problem was not their capability. The problem was that they did not have the right tools.
Technology2 Ltd set out to change that. Starting in 2005 and building continuously ever since, the team developed Quantim as a single platform that addresses every dimension of project management for fee-based professional practices. Not a generic tool adapted for the sector, but a platform built from the ground up with the specific workflows, financial structures, and reporting needs of UK professional services firms at its core.
Today, Quantim is trusted by over 200 businesses across the UK and beyond. It has been shaped by direct feedback from the architecture practices, engineering consultancies, quantity surveying firms, and construction companies that use it every day. Every feature in the platform exists because a real client needed it. Every improvement reflects a real workflow challenge that a real team was experiencing. That connection between client need and product development is what makes Quantim different — and it is what keeps it improving.
Quantim is a cloud-based project management, time tracking, expense management, and resource planning platform. It helps architecture firms, civil engineers, quantity surveyors, and consulting engineers run projects more transparently – from fee estimation to final reporting.

Quantim was built for fee-based professional services businesses. These are organisations where projects are won on the basis of estimated costs and time, delivered by skilled teams working across multiple concurrent engagements, and billed against agreed fee structures. Managing the gap between what was estimated and what was actually spent is the central financial challenge — and it is the challenge Quantim is designed to solve.
Across all of these sectors, Quantim clients share a common experience after adoption: they can see clearly, for the first time, exactly where project time is going, how it compares to what was budgeted, and what it means for fee recovery and profitability. That visibility changes how decisions are made — at every level of the business.
The team behind Quantim brings over 20 years of experience in project management software and business process automation. We have worked with global organisations across the UK, Europe, and beyond. Quantim itself has been continuously developed and refined since 2005, based on real feedback from hundreds of professional services firms.
Unlike generic project tools built for any industry, every feature in Quantim has been shaped by the specific challenges of fee-based professional practice — tight margins, complex resource allocation, client reporting requirements, and the need to translate time into accurate invoices without friction.
What this means in practice is that Quantim does not require professional services firms to adapt their processes to fit the software. The platform is built around how these businesses actually work. The terminology is familiar. The workflows reflect industry conventions. The reports answer the questions that directors and project managers in these sectors genuinely need to answer. That fit between platform and practice is the result of two decades of listening — and it is something that no amount of generic project management software can replicate.

There is no shortage of project management software. So why do UK professional services firms choose Quantim? The answer is not any single feature. It is the combination of four things that most platforms cannot offer together.
Generic project tools treat all industries the same. Quantim was designed specifically for fee-based professional practice. The platform understands RIBA stages, fee recovery rates, non-chargeable time, staff rate cards, and work in progress — because these are not edge cases for our clients. They are core to how the business works.
Most platforms track time. Quantim connects time to money. Every hour logged is immediately reflected in project cost, fee recovery, and profitability data. Directors can see whether a project is on track financially at any moment — not at month end. That shift from reactive to proactive financial management is what protects margins.
Quantim clients do not get routed to a call centre or told to submit a ticket. They speak directly to people who know the platform and understand the industry. This is reflected in the retention rates and testimonials of clients who have stayed with Quantim for five, ten, or more years — not because switching is difficult, but because the service makes staying the obvious choice.
Technology2 Ltd is not backed by venture capital. There are no investor pressures driving the product roadmap in directions that do not serve clients. Every decision about what to build next is driven by the firms using Quantim every day. That independence keeps the platform honest, focused, and genuinely useful to the people it is built for.
Everything we build is guided by a simple belief: software should remove friction, not create it. These are the principles that shape how we work and how we build Quantim.
Every decision is grounded in the real workflows of professional services firms — not generic project assumptions.
Quantim has been shaped by direct client feedback for over two decades. We iterate relentlessly on what matters most to practitioners.
No hidden fees, no confusing contracts. We grow only when our clients succeed — and that keeps us honest about everything we build.
Powerful enough for a 200-person consultancy. Simple enough for a 5-person practice to be up and running from day one.
Quantim is a product of Technology2 Ltd, a UK-based software company registered in Liverpool. Technology2 Ltd focuses on building practical, industry-specific tools that remove administrative friction and improve project profitability. The company does not rely on external funding – growth is driven entirely by client success.
This independence means our product roadmap is shaped by practitioners, not investors. Every feature request, every workflow improvement, and every release is driven by the firms who use Quantim every day.
Technology2 Ltd is based at America House, Rumford Court, Liverpool — a short distance from the professional services firms and construction industry organisations that make up a significant part of the North West's commercial landscape. The company's roots in Liverpool are not incidental. The city's thriving architecture, engineering, and construction sector provided the early client base from which Quantim grew, and the region's professional services community continues to shape the platform's development today.
No. Quantim is used by businesses of all sizes — from small practices with five or six staff through to large multi-discipline consultancies with hundreds of employees. The platform is designed to scale with your business. Smaller teams typically start with the Essential plan, focused on time tracking and standard reporting, and upgrade to more advanced plans as their needs grow. Larger organisations use the full platform from day one, including resource planning, fee breakdown management, CRM, and enterprise hosting.
Most clients are up and running within their first week. The Quantim team handles data migration, initial platform configuration, and onboarding training — so your team does not need to figure it out independently. The 30-day free trial gives you the full platform with full support, meaning you can evaluate and adopt Quantim simultaneously rather than treating them as separate phases.
Yes. While Quantim has been built primarily for the UK professional services market, it is used by organisations internationally. The platform supports multi-currency billing, and the core workflows — time tracking, fee management, resource planning, and reporting — are applicable to professional services businesses in any location. Contact our team to discuss your specific requirements if you are based outside the UK.
Generic project management tools are built for a broad audience. They track tasks and deadlines well, but they are not designed around the financial structures of fee-based professional practice. Quantim connects time directly to fee recovery and profitability, supports RIBA stage-based fee breakdowns, tracks non-chargeable time separately from billable activity, and provides the kind of financial reporting that practice directors and finance teams in professional services actually need. It is the difference between a tool that helps you manage tasks and a platform that helps you manage your business.
All Quantim data is hosted on Microsoft Azure, with servers based in the UK. The platform operates with SSL and AES encryption, a 99% uptime guarantee, and daily automated backups. For organisations with data residency requirements or client confidentiality obligations, Quantim's UK-hosted Azure infrastructure provides the appropriate level of security and compliance.
