Why Architects Rely On Us
Trusted by thousands of Architects across the UK
RentalBux finally gave me peace of mind.
Even after trying several tools, I was struggling with my portfolio of three rentals. MTD just added to that struggle. But then, I was introduced and all my worries disappeared. MTD submissions in minutes, track each property separately, allocate profit sharing. Wow!
Built for landlords, used by landlords.
As a landlord managing 12 units across two ownership structures and some self-employment income, I needed something that handled everything. RentalBux was the only software that did that.
Time saved.
Switching to RentalBux was one of the best decisions I made. Especially the joint-ownership module. Our family property had three owners with different shares, and RentalBux handled it quite efficiently.

Real challenges architects face, and how RentalBux solves them
| Real challenges architects face | How RentalBux solves it |
|---|---|
| Project chaos: Project invoices, change orders, stage payments, and client billing scattered across files, spreadsheets, and emails. | RentalBux integrates all project income and expenses into one digital workspace, reducing admin and mistakes. |
| Bookkeeping steals design time: Accounting cuts into design hours, client presentations, site visits, and team collaborations. | Automated receipt capture, bank feeds, and project-based cost tracking save hours each week so you can focus on creativity. |
| Income and cost confusion: Difficulty separating project fees, consultancy, material costs, and overheads for each job. | RentalBux tracks multiple income streams and job-specific cost centers independently for accurate quarterly MTD submissions. |
| Work-in-progress (WIP) issues: Managing project phases and recognising revenue across stages can lead to cash-flow surprises. | RentalBux supports phase-based income and cost tracking to keep WIP, profitability, and tax timing under control. |
| Generic software limitations: Standard accounting tools don’t reflect architectural workflows (CAD software, professional memberships, site travel). | RentalBux includes an architect-specific chart of accounts: project fees, software, travel, training, and memberships. |
| MTD compliance confusion: Quarterly digital reporting feels overwhelming for practices used to annual returns. | Built-in MTD workflows, reminders, and deadline alerts make compliance simple. |
| Error risks: Duplicate entries, mis-categorised costs, lost receipts, inconsistent job coding. | Smart categorisation and cost code mapping ensure HMRC-ready data without needing expensive practice management software. |
