How do engineering consultants use ProjectVIEW ERP and AI?
ProjectVIEW is the ERP for engineering consultants who design, supervise and manage projects for their clients. It links fees, estimates, tenders, documents, certification and reports to one BoQ ↔ WBS ↔ Cost Codes structure, while ProjectVIEW AI finds the records behind every decision.
Plan each commission and its fee
To begin with, set up each commission with its scope, deliverables and fee. Then link staff hours and expenses to the WBS and the cost codes.
As a result, you see the fee earned and the cost spent on every commission.
Prepare estimates and BoQs for the client
Then use ProjectVIEW AI to extract quantities from drawings or BIM models. Your estimators then review the quantities and price the BoQ from cost templates.
The Bidding & Estimation Agent compares rates with past projects, so the estimate is easier to defend.
Run tenders on behalf of the client
After that, group BoQ items into packages and issue electronic Requests for Proposal. Then compare the offers on price, programme, technical compliance, quality and HSE.
Every score and comment stays on record, so the recommendation to the client is transparent.
Review submittals, RFIs and documents
Also keep drawings, submittals, RFIs and approvals in one Common Data Environment. Then workflows send each document to the right reviewer and record the decision.
Because every version is kept, the team always works from the latest document.
Verify progress and certify payments
While work goes on, supervision teams record site progress, tests and photos in mobile apps. Then you certify interim payments against measured quantities and the contract BoQ.
Then the Subcontractor Certification Agent compares each claim with measured progress and flags the differences.
Assess variations and claims
When a change occurs, it creates a new BoQ version linked to drawings, the WBS and the cost codes. So you assess its cost and time effect before you advise the client.
In addition, the Claims & Variations Agent collects the related records and prepares the evidence for your review.
Report to the client with evidence
Finally, dashboards combine cost, progress, Earned Value and risks for every project. So reports draw on the same records that the team uses every day.
In addition, ProjectVIEW AI answers questions on project records and drafts reports for your approval. So the ERP for engineering consultants keeps fees, decisions and evidence in one place.
Which decisions need independent supporting evidence?
Engineering Consultants often lack real-time site visibility, making them disconnected from construction progress. As a result, they are unable to promptly inform the Owner about design reviews, baseline updates, or advise on potential bottlenecks.

ProjectVIEW provides realistic, in-depth construction insights—enabling engineering consultants to deliver meaningful information to the Owner.
Queries and reports follow your organization’s role and access permissions. Approval actions remain with authorized users.
Which reviews need attention with the resources available?
Large projects demand engineering consultants manage high expectations with limited resources, requiring them to juggle multiple tasks and adapt to shifting priorities within a complex framework

Digitizing Contractors’ daily logs enhances coordination with the consultant, allowing for better prioritization of site activities and more efficient allocation of the consultant’s resources.
Where are the latest documents and project records?
Engineering consultants struggle with the administrative burden of managing thousands of drawings, models, design approvals, QC/QA records and reports across long projects, impacting efficiency and control

Project documentation is securely accessed by project stakeholders, creating a Common Data Environment (CDE).
What has changed, and which approvals remain outstanding?
For consultants operating within construction projects, effectively managing inevitable changes—design revisions, site discrepancies, or regulatory updates—is paramount. Inadequate change control by the consultant results in project delays, miscommunication, and substantial budget overruns

ERP for engineering consultants: the short answer
ProjectVIEW ERP gives engineering consultants and project management firms one system for fees, resources, deliverables, site supervision and the cost reports they prepare for clients. Because client projects are tracked on the same BoQ ↔ WBS ↔ Cost Codes structure as contractors use, your reviews of progress, payments and changes rest on measured data.
What a consultant controls in ProjectVIEW ERP
- Fees and resources: staff hours and costs per contract, phase and deliverable.
- Deliverables: drawings, reports and approvals in one Common Data Environment.
- Supervision: measured progress and site records per BoQ item.
- Payment review: contractor certificates checked against verified quantities.
- Change review: variations priced against the BoQ and the programme.
- Client reporting: earned value, cost to complete and risk per project.

FAQ: ERP for engineering consultants
Why does an engineering consultant need an ERP?
Fees, staff time and deliverables must be controlled per contract, while client reports must rest on measured progress. One system keeps both on the same data.
How does ProjectVIEW ERP support site supervision?
Supervisors record progress and site records per BoQ item. As a result, payment and change reviews use the same verified quantities.
Can consultants share reports with the client?
Yes. Earned value, cost to complete and risk reports come from the project data, so every figure can be traced to its source.
What does ProjectVIEW AI add for consultants?
ProjectVIEW AI flags deviations in cost, progress and changes early and prepares the evidence. Your team keeps approval authority.
How long does implementation take?
A typical go-live takes 5 to 7 months, delivered by DANAOS engineers, in the cloud or on premises. Pricing depends on the modules, the number of users and the deployment option.
