Frequently Asked Questions for Engineering Firms

What makes project management worth it for engineering firms?

Engineering projects often involve multiple disciplines, such as structural, mechanical, electrical, or fire safety, working from a shared brief with different deliverables and compliance requirements. Unlike broader ERP systems like BQE Core, Total Synergy is purpose-builtΒ project management software for engineers, created to manage multi-discipline coordination, budgets, timesheets, and billing within a single project structure, rather than forcing engineering firms to adapt a generic tool designed for agile project management or basic task management.

Total Synergy lets you structure a project by discipline, so structural, services, and other engineering teams can each track their own budget, time, and deliverables while still rolling up into one overall project view on live dashboards. A workload view shows who has capacity across each discipline before you commit people to the next stage. This gives project leads clear visibility into which discipline is on track and which needs attention.

Yes. Total Synergy supports staged project structures that reflect typical engineering delivery, from concept and preliminary design through to detailed design and construction phase services. Each stage can carry its own budget, fee, and milestones, so billing stays accurate as a project moves through its lifecycle. Project templates let you reuse a proven stage structure, and Gantt charts show the full project schedule at a glance. Kanban boards directly integrate with project planning, resourcing, and financial data to streamline task management.

Engineering projects frequently involve sub-consultants across different disciplines, and Total Synergy tracks these costs alongside internal staff time, billable hours, and expenses in the same budget. This gives engineering firms a complete, accurate picture of true project cost rather than tracking sub-consultant fees separately and reconciling them manually later. Sub-consultant costs then flow straight through to invoicing.

Engineering fees are often tightly scoped, with less room to absorb unbudgeted hours than more open-ended project types. Real-time visibility into time and cost against budget means engineering project managers can flag scope creep or budget pressure early, before it erodes the fee entirely. Built-in reporting and analytics turn that data into a clear view of project performance, making risk management proactive rather than reactive.

Asana, Monday.com, Trello, Wrike, ClickUp, and Microsoft Project are strong collaboration tools for task management, and Jira is built for teams running scrum and sprint planning. None were designed specifically around engineering fees, WIP, or staged billing. Total Synergy combines project planning, time tracking, resource planning, and invoicing in one platform built for A&E firms.
Yes. Total Synergy integrates with Xero, MYOB AccountRight Live, and QuickBooks Online, as well as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, HubSpot, and Salesforce. The SynergyCRM add-on brings customer relationship management into the same platform, so pipeline and project delivery stay connected.
Yes. Total Synergy is used by A&E firms of all sizes, from small specialist consultancies to multi-office, multi-discipline practices. As your team and project load grow, document management keeps drawings, reports, and transmittals under version control, with SharePoint and Microsoft Teams integration so the latest file is always easy to find. Portfolio management dashboards and capacity planning tools then give leaders a clear view across every active project, so you can take on more work without losing control of budgets, resourcing, or quality.
