Workflows
EngineLayer supports multiple workflows across the life of a project. Change Order Reconstruction is a flagship use case, but the same execution layer also powers structured issue logging, document ingestion, vendor commitments, workforce visibility, and org‑level oversight.
Change Order Reconstruction
Shows how EngineLayer keeps the story behind each change order intact—from the first field issue through linked documents, labor snapshots, and final approvals—so you can defend extra work with an auditable trail instead of rebuilding it from memory.
Issue Logging & Daily Record
Captures delays, disruptions, and site events as a lightweight daily record with standardized types, durations in 0.5‑hour increments, timestamps, and linked photos/docs—replacing inconsistent foreman journals with a structured, project‑level issue log.
Document Ingestion & File Organization
Ingests drawings and project documents via the assistant or direct upload, files them into your connected cloud storage (Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive), and associates them deterministically with the right projects, so RFIs, POs, reports, and other files land in predictable places and stay tied to the records they support.
Vendor PO / Subcontract Commitments
Tracks vendor POs, subcontract commitments, and their associated documents as append‑only entries per project, with clear amounts, dates, references, and corrections, giving PMs and owners a simple, auditable view of committed spend without turning EngineLayer into an accounting system.
Workforce Visibility & Labor Context
Provides a minimal workforce view by recording planned and historical headcount by role per project, alongside monthly labor snapshots, so you can see how crews and roles have shifted over time without touching payroll or financial calculations.
Org Admin Overview & Weekly Summaries
Gives Org Admins an internal overview of issues, labor snapshots, and change order activity across projects, plus weekly PDF summaries saved to your drive, so leadership can steer conversations using consistent signals while leaving all underlying records append‑only and auditable.
Start with one project.
If defending change orders and tracking disruption is already burning hours, EngineLayer can help turn that chaos into a structured, auditable record without adding another to‑do list for your PMs.
