How PM Software changes the game for engineering firms

Engineering is often a misunderstood industry — when those outside of the industry think of it, they often think of skyscrapers and airplanes, forgetting that engineering is a field that has an incredibly wide reach. Engineers require many diverse skill-sets in order to complete their job well, including the ability to think through scientific, cultural and design lenses all at once. Most of the world we see around us has had the touch of an engineer’s hand — in the cars and vehicles we use, in the homes we live in, in the systems that impact our lives and in the ways businesses and cities operate.

With that in mind, it’s no surprise that no two engineering firms look the same!

One thing that is common across all forms and applications of engineering is the need to access centralized data and collaborate well with other stakeholders. Within the engineering industry, project management software offers radical, technology-driven solutions to age-old problems.

Engineering firms rely on project management software such as BVDash to systemize their processes. With one single project requiring input across stages including procurement, planning, feasibility, programming, permitting, budgeting, design, construction and completion, project management tools need to offer robust solutions that are scalable and customizable.

BVDash is equipped with a number of functions that are of key importance to engineering workflows. These include…
