Engineering and architecture

Technical project work stays tied to phase, budget and approval.

Engineering and architecture teams lose time in design reviews, drawing corrections, site meetings, calculations and change requests. Half5 helps that work become approved project value before it turns into margin pressure.

Where the money leaks

The problem is not time tracking. It is proving what reaches the invoice.

Each branch loses billable work in a different place. Half5 makes that loss visible before finance rebuilds the week from memory.

Drawings

Revision time needs project context

Drawing reviews, calculations and corrections deserve a clear route to project value.

Site work

Site meetings create hidden follow-up

Field checks and change requests often create billable work after the visible meeting ends.

Budgets

Design phases need early budget signals

Approved project hours show whether a phase, revision or change request is still commercially healthy.

Best first rollout

Project phases, drawings and budget

For engineering and architecture teams where project value moves through drawings, meetings, calculations, field checks and corrections.

Available in Half5
  • Projects, customers, rates and approval keep technical work invoice-ready
  • Budget pressure and approved value stay visible in reports
  • Personal timeline control before sharing project hours
Next product step
  • Project phase, drawing number and revision status per hour
  • BIM, issue-list and site-report context for suggestions
  • Budget alerts for design phases, site work and change requests
Recognizable work

Recognize your own almost-missed work in the first minute.

Half5 translates the day into customer, activity, recovered value and approved output. That makes the rollout concrete for users, managers and finance.

How it works

From forgotten work to approved revenue without breaking trust.

Half5 gives the user control first. After approval, only useful work goes to finance, integrations and agents.

01

Project context comes first

Customers, projects, budgets, activities and rates keep technical work connected from the beginning.

02

The user submits explainable work

Personal clues become submitted project hours only after the user decides what belongs in the business record.

03

Project leads approve before finance

Approval catches unclear revision work, phase drift and change requests before invoice output.

04

Reports show project pressure

Approved hours make budget pressure, billability and recovered project value visible.

Software, finance and agents

Approved work becomes the center of the toolchain, not private activity history.

The strongest enterprise story is clear: people keep control, managers approve work, finance receives clean output and agents can automate on the safe layer.

Project and phase control

Projects, customers, activities, budgets and rates keep technical hours invoice-ready.

Planned drawing metadata

Drawing numbers, revisions and phase labels are planned as branch-specific fields.

Planned BIM and issue context

BIM, issue lists and site reports can later enrich suggestions before approval.

Finance and accounting

Approved technical work can move to invoices, exports and accounting links.

For engineering and architecture teams

Revisions, drawings and site meetings stay project-ready.

Half5 keeps technical work connected to customer, project phase, budget pressure and approval without exposing private activity history.

Billable value returns

Even a few missed minutes per person per day become serious revenue across a team.

Trust stays intact

The raw timeline stays personal. Teams work with submitted hours, approvals and invoice-ready output.

Finance and agents connect safely

Accounting, CRM, project systems and agents work with submitted hours, approvals and invoice data.

Start with clarity

Choose the place where missed work already costs revenue.

Half5 shows which revenue can return, what stays personal, which hours finance may use and which systems receive approved data.

Project phases, customers and rates stay close to approved technical work.

Budget pressure becomes visible before revision work reaches finance.

Only submitted and approved project hours move to systems or agents.
