Purpose-Built Engineering Controls to Optimize the Design Phase of Capital Projects
Contruent Engineering provides real-time engineering project controls for large-scale capital projects across infrastructure, energy and industrial sectors. Purpose-built for engineering project management, it empowers teams to efficiently plan, monitor and optimize engineering deliverables while maintaining alignment with project cost, schedule and scope objectives.
As a core module of the Contruent Enterprise cost management platform, Contruent Engineering enables integrated project delivery by ensuring seamless data flow between estimating, scheduling, procurement and cost control. This connectivity improves decision-making during the design phase and reduces downstream project risks.

Bridge Design and Execution with Data-Driven Engineering Management
The design and engineering phase is the most influential point for controlling project cost, timeline, and constructability. Contruent Engineering helps EPC firms, owner/operators and project controls managers to:
- Monitor engineering deliverables in real time using structured work packages that align with control accounts and the work breakdown structure (WBS).
- Integrate engineering progress with time-phased cost and schedule data for accurate earned value analysis (EVA).
- Manage change control across engineering disciplines, linking impacts across cost management, schedule control and procurement planning.
- Enable collaborative workflows across engineering, estimating and construction teams to improve project execution and design accountability.
With flexible coding structures and automated workflows, Contruent Engineering ensures each design milestone is supported by accurate performance data, in real time.
Key Capabilities of Contruent Engineering
Time-Phased Engineering Planning. Develop integrated engineering schedules and budgets that connect directly to procurement and construction forecasts.
- Integrated Earned Value Management (EVM). Capture and compare planned value, earned value and actual costs at the engineering task level for complete visibility into design progress and cost performance.
- Engineering Work Package (EWP) Management. Build and manage detailed EWPs aligned with the WBS, ensuring traceability across engineering disciplines, vendors and contractual obligations.
- Automated Forecasting and Status Reporting. Generate real-time engineering dashboards, KPI reports, and status updates for project engineers, managers and stakeholders.
- BIM and 3D Model Integration. Link 3D model elements with design deliverables to automate quantity takeoffs, align models with cost estimates, and enhance design coordination.
