Jamie Banks Jamie Banks, Architect

"I didn't want to build software.
I wanted my weekends back."

Jamie started an architecture firm in Vancouver. Within months, he was drowning—not in work, but in the chaos of managing it. Missed follow-ups. Lost invoices. Sunday nights spent on spreadsheets instead of with his family. Something had to change.

Before Keystone
  • 15 hours/week on admin
  • 4-6 hours per proposal
  • Spreadsheets everywhere
  • Clients calling for updates
  • No idea which projects were profitable
After Keystone
  • 3 hours/week on admin
  • 20 minutes per proposal
  • One dashboard for everything
  • Clients self-serve updates
  • Real-time profitability tracking
The Problem

Sunday Nights in the Home Office

Jamie didn't start an architecture firm to update spreadsheets. But somewhere between hiring employee #3 and employee #7, that's what he became: the guy who tracks hours, chases invoices, and answers "where are we on the Smith project?" seventeen times a week.

"My wife would ask what I did today. 'Architecture stuff.' But I couldn't remember the last time I'd actually designed anything."
The Search

Years of Failed Attempts

He tried everything. Enterprise tools that assumed he had an IT department. Generic project boards that didn't understand his workflow. Expensive consultants who built systems that fell apart the moment they left.

"Every solution required me to become an expert in something that wasn't my job. I needed someone who understood my business to just handle it."
The Build

The Whiteboard That Became Software

One Saturday, Jamie sketched what he actually needed on a whiteboard. Not what software companies thought he needed. What he actually needed. Then he called a friend who builds software.

Your Turn

Same Problem?

If you're reading this on a Sunday night, catching up on admin you didn't have time for during the week, Jamie would love to talk. No pitch. Just an architect who's been there.
