Explore our latest Made with Programa feature as Studio Bosko breaks down Zander Rooftop - a study in technical coordination, client clarity, and the systems required to deliver a multi-layered attic conversion with confidence and control.
Made with Programa
Zander Rooftop
Berlin, Germany
At any given moment, Studio Bosko is running four or five projects simultaneously. A new build in Berlin. Two complex renovations. An interior curation. Each at a different stage: one in procurement, one mid-installation, one still in design development. The projects don’t pause for each other.
Kasia Kronberger started the studio managing this through spreadsheets. It worked until it didn’t - versions drifting, visuals in one folder and specs in another, client approvals scattered across email threads that were out of date before anyone acted on them. For a renovation like Zander Rooftop, an attic conversion involving construction, joinery, interior finishing, and furnishing running in parallel, the gap between what was decided and what was documented was a constant liability.
“In a complex project like an attic conversion with so many layers - construction, interior finishing, joinery, furnishing - being able to categorise everything in Programa helps us navigate the project and helps the client understand where we are.”

Programa replaced the improvisation with structure. Not rigidity - structure. The kind that lets a studio run four active projects without losing track of a single oven spec or tile approval.
“Before using Programa, there was a lot of improvisation. The work was quite manual. We worked a lot in spreadsheets.”

Schedules built around how the project actually works
How Studio Bosko structures their Schedules depends on the project. For a complex renovation, Schedules are split by room - products, materials and finishes, lighting - each carrying dimensions, colour, finish, material, lead time, and supplier. For projects where the client is working to defined budget envelopes, the split is by category: Materials, Hard Surfaces, Furnishings. The client sees clean, contained scopes. The studio sees everything.
One thing the Schedule holds that a spreadsheet never could: options. A living room might carry two sofa choices, three rugs, two coffee table configurations - all sitting in the same Schedule, side by side, until the client makes a call. Nothing gets lost in a separate document or a “shortlist” tab. The decision-making process is part of the record.
Statuses drive the workflow from first idea to delivery on site:
- Internal Review - while direction is still being developed internally
- Client Review - once selections are ready for a decision
- Approved / Rejected / Re-Submit - to close each cycle
- Ordered / In Production / In Transit - through active procurement
- Delivered - confirmed and ready on site
Rejected is as important as Approved. When a client rules out an oven after comparing three options, that decision lives in the Schedule. The reasoning doesn’t disappear into an email thread.
Lead times anchor everything. Each item carries its own timing, which Studio Bosko uses to phase installations, sequence trades, and make sure the tiler isn’t waiting on a tile that’s still four weeks out.
“Schedules are the star of the software. They make our lives easier and make communication with clients easier. They appreciate that clarity.”

Sourcing straight into the spec
Kasia loves the Web Clipper and Add from URL. The reason is simple: finding a product and specifying it used to be two separate steps with manual entry in between. Now it isn’t. Paste a supplier URL into the Schedule and the product lands - image, name, dimensions, pricing - ready to work with. The Product URL stays on the record, so anyone on the team can go back to the source at any point.
Products saved to the studio’s Product Library carry across projects. Trusted suppliers, recurring finishes, furniture that keeps appearing in Bosko’s work - all accessible without starting from scratch on every new job.
Specifications that hold up under construction
For every item that requires more than a product image and a price - custom joinery, bespoke lighting, stone, wall finishes, door hardware - the Product Detail Tray holds the full specification. SKU, lead time, supplier URL, dimensions, finish, material, care notes, installation requirements, reference images. The spec can be downloaded as a PDF directly from the tray.
When a subcontractor is on site with a question about the brass spotlight - finish, fixing detail, quantity - the answer is already in the spec. The correct version. Not last week’s.
“We work with busy professionals. Whenever we can streamline that part - which is usually their free time - it’s a real benefit.”

A client dashboard that works for busy people
The Client Dashboard is a different view of the same project. Not a presentation - a working tool. Clients open their dashboard and see their Schedules as visual tiles: product images, room by room, with a ‘Feedback required’ badge on anything waiting for a decision. No email to find, no attachment to download.
Inside each Schedule, the Approval & Feedback tab presents exactly what’s under review: product image, colour, finish, material, unit price, total cost. Reject. Approve. Or Approve all. The financial impact of every decision is visible before they make it.
What clients don’t see: trade pricing, internal notes, items still in draft. The dashboard is curated. Studio Bosko controls what’s shared and when.
Financials that don’t require a separate spreadsheet
The Financial tab in every Schedule shows trade price and RRP across every line, totalled by room. A new build with 23 items in the living room alone, options still being resolved, multiple rooms running in parallel - the numbers update as decisions get made. Studio Bosko uses this to keep budget conversations grounded before anything is ordered, flag overruns by category, and maintain clarity from specification through to the final invoice.
“I appreciate that the software evolves. I feel listened to by the team. Every improvement has the potential to improve my process and the efficiency of my work.”

Project management for the full renovation lifecycle
Beyond the Schedules, Studio Bosko uses our Project Management tools to run the full life of each renovation. The To-Do list is a live picture of every outstanding task: Budget Definition, Design Book, Walkthroughs (Electricity & Installation, Tiling, Walls & Floors), Install Days for Kitchen, Built-ins, and Countertops, Punch List, Renovation Handover, Goodbye Guide. Everything from the first contractor coordination meeting to the photo shoot - tracked in one place, with deadlines and progress visible across the team.
Time Tracking sits alongside this. Every hour - weekly project updates, procurement, site visits, contractor coordination - is logged by task type and project. Over time, that log tells Kasia what a project of a given type actually costs the studio to deliver. Not an estimate. Evidence.
Time Tracking that builds the case over time
Every hour spent on a project - weekly updates, contractor coordination, procurement, site visits, documentation - is logged in Time Tracking by task type and project.
Over time, the data tells you what a project of a given type and scale actually costs the studio to deliver. That’s a different kind of information than an estimate, and it changes how you price the next one.
A workflow built for layered design
The reason it works is not any single feature. It’s that the whole process - sourcing, specifying, client approvals, procurement, financial tracking, time logging - lives in one system. Nothing has to be transferred between tools. Nothing gets lost in translation between a spreadsheet and an email.
