Architectural teams that organize project work in Basecamp need hours tied to the right to-do, list, and project. Useful review context starts with the person, date, hours worked, related work item, and optional notes when the entry needs more detail.
Basecamp holds the project structure: to-dos, lists, assignees, due dates, notes, subtasks, files, and status. Everhour adds embedded time controls through the browser extension, so team members can start a timer or add time manually while staying in the Basecamp work item.
Architectural time records become easier to review when each entry follows the work structure already used by the team. A design task, coordination task, review task, or client-requested change should have its own tracked entry when the work needs separate billing, budget review, or project history.
Avoid dumping a full day into one broad project entry. That hides which to-do produced the hours and makes later cleanup harder. Everhour's Basecamp reporting keeps project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status available, so the report can preserve the context behind the hours.
A timer fits focused work that starts from a specific Basecamp to-do. The person opens the to-do, starts the timer, stops it when the work ends, and leaves the time attached to the item. That approach keeps short production sessions, reviews, and handoffs from disappearing into memory.
Manual entry fits work recorded after the fact, such as time filled in from notes after work is complete. The entry still needs the same review context: person, date, hours worked, related to-do, project, and optional notes when the reviewer needs detail. Everhour records timer, manual, and past-date entries separately.
A one-off log is enough when you need a quick view of hours on a small set of Basecamp to-dos. It works for a short internal review, a light client update, or a cleanup pass before exporting a report.
A managed workflow matters when Basecamp time affects billing, budgets, payroll review, or project profitability. Everhour lets admins set project billing status, mark specific tasks non-billable, use custom task rates, review billable and non-billable totals, approve timesheets, lock completed periods, and send budget alerts before the project drifts past its limits.

Attach time to the Basecamp to-do that produced the work whenever the record needs billing, budget, or review value. Everhour's Basecamp model reports by project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status, so to-do-level tracking keeps the hour record connected to the project structure your team already uses.
Use the fields that make review possible: person, date, hours worked, the related Basecamp to-do, project context, and optional notes when the work needs explanation. The note should clarify the task context, not repeat the to-do title. The key test is whether the entry can stand on its own in a report.
Use timers for focused work that starts from a specific Basecamp to-do. Use manual entry when the person records completed work from reliable notes. Timer entries and manual entries both need the same task context, but timer-based records reduce reconstruction when work moves across multiple to-dos.
Set billing rules where the system can apply them consistently. Everhour supports billing status at the project level, task-level non-billable controls inside billable projects, custom task rates for time-and-materials work, and member-rate exceptions. That structure keeps billable totals from depending on memory during invoice review.
Track the work through the to-do that represents the actual task. Everhour's documented Basecamp reporting centers on projects, lists, and to-dos, not Schedule events or Message Board posts as synced task objects. If a discussion creates work, create or use the related to-do before logging time.
Everhour lets admins set Basecamp projects as billable or non-billable, mark specific tasks non-billable inside billable projects, use custom task rates, and report billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost. That keeps architectural billing review tied to the same Basecamp to-dos that produced the work.
Everhour adds time tracking controls to Basecamp through its browser extension, so users can start timers or add manual time from supported Basecamp views. The Basecamp integration does not work in Basecamp native apps, so teams need the browser-based workflow for embedded tracking.
Track approved hours on Basecamp to-dos, keep billable status consistent, and review billable amount and cost in Everhour before client invoicing.
