Your work as an architect, from invitation to payment

Updated on 2 septembre 2026 · 2 min read

This guide follows one commission from beginning to end. The screenshots come from a demonstration account: the amounts shown are those of this example, not a price list.

1. Receiving an invitation

You do not go looking for projects: Hello Archi invites you to the consultations that match your profile. There is no such thing as applying unprompted.

Consultation list with an invitation to accept or decline
① accept or decline the invitation. An invitation awaiting an answer, above a consultation already joined.

You accept or you decline. Declining has no bearing on later invitations.

2. Sending your quote

The editor picks up your details and the client's, and lets you build your lines — by hand, or from your catalogue of services.

Quote editor with live preview
The preview shows the document exactly as the client will receive it.

Once sent, the quote goes to the client, who signs it electronically. Their signature formally assigns you the project.

3. Choosing how you will be paid

Invoicing is yours to decide: you choose how payment is split, once the quote is signed. A single payment, or a deposit followed by a balance.

Choosing the payment terms, with the instalment breakdown
① the split into instalments, costed out before you decide. Each set of terms shows its instalment amounts beforehand.

A draft is created, which you read over before sending. Sending gives it its official number and makes it final.

4. Getting paid and withdrawing

When the client pays, the amount arrives in your Hello Archi wallet.

The professional's wallet with its available balance
① your available balance · ② the withdrawal request.

You request a transfer to your bank account whenever you like, in full or in part. The amount is capped at your available balance.

Withdrawal request form with amount and IBAN
① the amount is capped at your balance. The request is then approved by our team before the transfer.

5. Your plan

The free plan lets you work from the moment you sign up. Higher plans unlock further features; what they contain and what they cost are set out on the dedicated page in your area.
