HR software for architecture & engineering firms
Chartered status, CSCS cards, professional memberships - a practice runs on credentials that expire. CoDash chases them so nobody finds out on site.
CoDash keeps a practice's people record straight: certifications and professional memberships with expiry chasing, project teams mapped on a real org chart, training compliance for the courses that matter, and starter/leaver processes that don't leak kit or credentials.
Credentials that never quietly lapse
The certification register holds each person's chartered status, memberships and site cards with expiry dates and reminders before they go stale - the renewal conversation happens in the office, not at the site gate.
Teams shaped like the work
Studios and disciplines on the team tree, dotted-line management for people staffed across projects, and an org chart that derives from reality instead of a diagram nobody updates.
Kit and software seats accounted for
Workstations, licences and survey kit tied to people in the asset register, chased back automatically at offboarding.
Progression from Part 1 to partner
Career frameworks with levels and behavioural indicators, reviews with structured templates, 1:1s with a written trail - the development record a practice needs for its own pipeline.
What we deliberately don't do
Project delivery, drawings and BIM live in your design tools; fee forecasting in your practice management. CoDash is the people system beside both.

Common questions
Can it track chartered status and renewals?
Yes - the certification register holds any credential with issuer, reference and expiry, and chases renewals before they lapse.
We staff people across several projects - does the org chart cope?
Yes - the chart derives from the team tree and supports dotted-line (secondary) management, so matrix staffing is visible rather than fudged.
Does it handle hybrid studio working?
Weekly patterns with per-day overrides and a who's-where board - studio days and site days both visible.
Can HR publish policies with proof people read them?
Yes - documents publish with read-acknowledgement tracking, and the evidence view shows exactly who has and hasn't.
