Time Tracking Software for Engineering Firms

Multi-discipline project management with interdependent task tracking, cross-discipline review workflows, and milestone coordination that keeps all engineering teams aligned.. Software for tracking billable hours, managing timesheets, and reporting on team utilization.

Challenges Engineering Businesses Face

If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone. Most engineering businesses deal with these every day.

Multi-discipline project coordination where civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineers work on the same project with interdependent deliverables and review cycles that must be sequenced correctly.

Professional liability insurance requirements where errors in engineering calculations or designs can result in structural failures, and documentation must demonstrate professional standards of care.

Fee proposal development where engineering fees are calculated on percentage-of-construction-cost, hourly, or lump-sum bases, and each method requires different tracking and invoicing approaches.

Regulatory submission management where plans must be submitted to multiple agencies — building departments, environmental agencies, utility companies — each with different requirements and review timelines.

Stamp and seal management where licensed professional engineers must review and stamp drawings, but workload distribution must ensure stamping engineers actually review the work they are certifying.
