EPC & Engineering Firms
An engineering firm doing EPC work owns the outcome, not just the drawings. The risk is in the handoffs: the revision that never reached the field, the purchase order nobody tied to the budget, the progress number that was a guess, the turnover package built from memory. Field PM covers the procurement, construction, and completion side of an EPC project in one system — and it starts from the people doing the work, so the data is real.
Drawings and specifications are stored with revisions and markups, and issued through numbered transmittals. Submittals and RFIs have their own logs with status and ball-in-court. Because the same system is what the superintendent opens on site, issuing a revision and the field having it are the same event.
Purchase orders are written against the project budget and cost codes, and vendor invoices are linked to them. Committed cost shows up on the cost code when the order is placed, not when the invoice arrives, so the budget reflects what you have promised to spend as well as what you have spent.
Crews and subcontractors report manhours and work performed daily. Those hours roll into cost codes, giving you productivity by code, earned progress against budget, projected cost at completion, and an S-curve of planned versus actual. A built-in schedule and lookahead sit beside the cost picture. When the owner asks how you arrived at 62 percent, there is a trail behind the number.
Inspection workflows put hold points with named approvers on the sequence of work — civil, electrical, and piping workflows are included to start from. For pipe, every weld is on a weld map with its welder, procedure, fit-up and visual inspection, NDE, repairs, heat treatment, and hardness results recorded as the work is done.
Welds roll up into test packages with pressure-test records. Punch-list and closeout items are tracked to closure by project. The turnover data book is generated from the records already captured, so the package the owner receives is the job's actual history rather than a reconstruction of it.
Budget, committed cost, earned progress, forecast, and S-curve across every project.

Learn more →It covers the procurement, construction, and completion side of an EPC project, and it controls the documents engineering issues: drawings, specifications, revisions, and transmittals. It is not a design tool, and it does not include an engineering deliverables register or design-hour planning. Firms typically keep their design tools and use Field PM from issued-for-construction onward.
Not today. Field PM has its own schedule, lookahead, and milestone tracking tied to the cost data. If your master schedule lives in P6, that stays the master and Field PM tracks field progress against it.
Subcontractors file their own daily reports on your project at no cost, and their invoices are tracked against their contract value. Their progress and your own crews' progress end up on the same project.
For weld work: the weld log, welder qualifications, procedures, material and filler traceability, inspection and NDE results, repairs, heat-treatment and hardness records, and test packages. It is generated from the records captured during construction.
Field PM supports multiple business entities, divisions, and locations with roll-up reporting. It is priced and built for small and mid-sized firms and self-performing contractors. If you need enterprise-wide resource planning across a design organization, that is outside what it does.
