Project Management Software for Engineering and Construction
Bid Management
Develop bid proposals using predefined project versions linked to execution. The system ensures cost estimation accuracy through rate matrices and a structured basis of estimate (BOE). Perform risk assessments and portfolio analysis to support contract negotiations, resource allocation, and audit preparedness.
Integrated Master Schedule
Establish a structured sequence of work leading through key milestones, events, and decision points. Assign discrete work to program organizational elements, including subcontractors, in alignment with the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for full traceability and execution control.
Billing Milestones and Invoicing
Manage contract invoicing efficiently with automated milestone tracking. Link invoice payment schedules to deliverables, ensuring compliance with contract terms. Set up one-off or recurring payment milestones and visualize progress with Gantt charts and cost-tracking dashboards.
Subcontractor Collaboration
Securely provide portal-only access to subcontractors for task management. They can submit reports, upload supporting documents, and provide project updates, accelerating approvals and signoffs. This improves project handovers, ensures documentation accuracy, and reduces administrative bottlenecks.
Schedule and Cost Indices
Gain a consolidated financial view of budgets, forecasts, EACs, and ETCs in construction project management and engineering project management. Track cost and schedule performance indices (CPI & SPI) against planned value (PV), budget at completion (BAC), and estimate at completion (EAC) to measure project efficiency and financial performance
Change Control and Markup
Maintain programmatic control over project scope, schedule, and budget with structured change management. The markup tool enables users to annotate and review documents, ensuring version control and traceability. Onsite changes sync with mobile applications, keeping all stakeholders updated in real time.

Additional Capabilities
Configurable Checklists
Use mobile-enabled checklists for on-site inspections, punch lists, and snag lists. Capture and annotate project issues in real-time, improving compliance and invoicing accuracy. The system ensures that field data integrates seamlessly into project workflows, reducing rework and approval delays.
Document Management
Ensure version control, compliance, and full document traceability. Centralized document storage prevents loss and enhances collaboration. Integrate with existing document management systems like SharePoint, maintaining security protocols and access controls while linking directly to critical project documentation.
Portfolio Management Dashboards
Leverage scenario modelling in construction project management to optimize funding allocation and evaluate portfolio configurations. Project and program data roll up into portfolio-level dashboards, enabling executive decision-making with real-time, decision-ready insights for long-term planning and resource prioritization.
Risks, Issues, and Opportunities
Identify and track project risks, issues, and opportunities in an integrated system. Assign ownership, create mitigation plans, and link risk data directly to project schedules and forecasts. Heat maps and roll-up reporting provide visibility into portfolio-wide risk management strategies.
Early Warning System
Prevent cost overruns with real-time budget alerts and schedule deviation tracking. Integrated risk adjustments and change orders provide proactive insights, enabling teams to implement corrective actions, improve project recovery, and safeguard profitability.
Health and Safety
Ensure a safe working environment with integrated health and safety management. Track compliance with safety regulations, log incidents, and implement proactive risk mitigation measures. Conduct on-site safety audits, enforce best practices, and provide real-time visibility into safety performance across all projects.
