Fee variation templates

Fee variation templates for creative studios.

Fee variation templates for architecture practices. Show what changed, the impact on fee and programme, and the change priced line by line, in your studio's look.

How it works

Go from first draft to your client.

Lay out what changed, the fee impact and the revised programme in your studio's look. Share it privately, see what they read, and collect an e-signature on the same page.

  • Blocks for itemised fees, a Gantt programme, what stays the same and the signature
  • Logo, fonts and colours set once
  • Start from a template or duplicate your last fee variation

On a private link, only the people you invite can open it. Allow re-sharing per person, or keep it to them.

See who viewed it on a private link, how often, and the time spent on each section.

Price the change line by line, with optional items they can switch on. They approve with a slide or sign, and you get a notification.

What changes when the fee variation is a page.

Three studios, in their own words.

“The level of customisation is a real strength. It allows you to create something that feels aligned with your own visual identity, without compromising on speed or usability. And importantly, it moves proposals away from static documents into something far more dynamic and engaging.”

“I’ve used Formlio for design cases and proposals, and it’s a much better fit than the usual old-school tools. Most of them feel like a chore. Formlio doesn’t. It’s flexible, easy to use, and the support is seriously top tier.”

“The team at Formlio are so passionate about building a product specifically for creatives. They have really listened and turned feedback in features that are especially important to our day-to-day proposals. Having a responsive, web-style proposal just makes sense. It meets people where they are eg. scrolling on their phone, mid commute, making quick decisions. I’ve really loved connecting with Marianne and watching Formlio's journey unfold from the early stages. ”
