Sort of - every big consultant is charged to their project by the  
hour. Whether that gets passed on to the client (ie a T&M type  
contract) or not (FP) is a different matter.

But the project's costs are hourly; so if you've got fixed revenue,  
and variable labour cost, monitoring and controlling timesheets is  
•essential*.
