Why Projectworks for Engineering?
Projectworks connects time tracking, resource planning, invoicing, and financial reporting in one live system, structured around how engineering consultancies actually deliver projects.
Built by operators who founded and scaled consulting firms, Projectworks is used by engineering consultancies across Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.
Engineering firms worldwide, including Rendement, The Engineering Collective, Bourn Engineers, MBB Group, Londino Project Services, Batchelor McDougall Consulting, Edison Consulting, CASE, Frost Engineers, and CIVIX.
Engineering Projects Span Years and Disciplines. Your Visibility Shouldn't Lag Behind.
Long-lifecycle projects, shared discipline pools, and milestone billing make engineering profitability harder to track than almost any other consulting vertical.
Real-time Project Intelligence for Engineering Firms
Projectworks connects profitability tracking, resource planning, forecasting, and invoicing in one live system. So your firm runs on real data, not spreadsheets and guesswork.
Track every hour across every discipline.
Engineers log time by project, discipline, and task directly in Projectworks. Civil, structural, mechanical, environmental — every discipline's hours flow into cost allocation, milestone billing, and profitability reporting automatically. No separate timekeeping system, no end-of-month reconciliation against spreadsheets.
Field hours and office hours are tracked in the same system, with expense capture for travel, equipment, and site visits alongside billable time.
"Projectworks has simplified the admin of our engineering business. It provides all essential functions to manage staff resourcing, timesheets, invoicing and key project financial metrics." - Jacob Meecham, Director, Londino Project Services
Plan multi-discipline teams across every project.
Engineering firms share specialists across concurrent projects. A structural engineer might be 40% on one project and 60% on another. Projectworks shows real utilization by discipline and by person, across every active and upcoming project.
Skills-based matching connects the right technical specializations and certifications to the right projects. Forecasting reaches months ahead so you can plan for infrastructure project ramp-ups, not react to them. Leave and training schedules feed directly into the resource plan.
"Projectworks helped take our company project control to the next level…Projectworks allowed us to accurately manage and monitor complex projects for our growing team and provides live data on our business performance." - Aaron Gilboy, Director, Bourn Engineers
Bill by milestone, percent-complete, or hourly. One system.
Engineering projects use mixed billing models. Projectworks handles milestone-based, percent-complete, and hourly invoicing in a single system, all connected to tracked time and synced directly to Xero, QuickBooks, or MYOB. No re-keying, no reconciliation errors, no month-end scrambles.
"We used to spend around 120 hours every month invoicing…we've saved almost 100 man hours a month." - Kyle Olsen, Systems Manager, Batchelor McDougall Consulting
See profitability by project, discipline, and milestone.
Live reporting cuts profitability by project, by discipline, and by milestone. See budget burn, margin, and WIP in real time, across a portfolio of long-lifecycle infrastructure projects. Spot which projects are bleeding margin while there's still time to intervene, not at month-end close.
"Projectworks improved our profitability by 5–8% within 2 months of implementation." - James Davidson, Principal, Rendement Consulting

Integrations That Connect Your Engineering Firm's Full Project Lifecycle
Projectworks integrates with the accounting, document management, and HR systems engineering firms depend on. From proposal to tracked time to milestone invoice to reconciled payment, one connected workflow replaces manual handoffs and reduces compliance risk. Key integrations for engineering firms include Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB, 12d Synergy, BambooHR, and Employment Hero.
How Projectworks Helps Engineering Firms Take Control of Project Delivery
Most engineering firms are stuck between heavyweight ERPs that take months to implement, point solutions that don't share data, and spreadsheets that are already stale by the time they're reviewed. Here's how the day-to-day changes with Projectworks.
- Teams staffed on assumptions, not real-time discipline availability
- Profitability by discipline invisible until month-end close
- Utilization pushed reactively after margin has already eroded
- Project managers relying on stale spreadsheets for EAC and variance
- Every new project and discipline adds untracked complexity
- Engineers losing hours to admin instead of technical delivery
- Staff projects from true capacity across every discipline and project
- See profitability by project, discipline, and milestone in real time
- Plan utilization deliberately across shared discipline pools
- Live EAC, budget burn, and variance data available mid-project
- Growth across projects, disciplines, and regions stays controlled
- Engineers focus on delivery while Projectworks handles the admin
