Electrical, civil, mechanical and industrial work runs on documents that change: a drawing set that reaches Rev D, a specification that gets amended, a permit that expires, an inspection that becomes an action. Attain OS keeps the current revision, the site record, the compliance dates and the issue log in one place, per project, per discipline.
Electrical, civil, structural, mechanical and industrial engineering consultancies producing drawings, calculations, reports and stamped deliverables for clients, contractors and permitting authorities.
The set is in a folder full of names like EL-102_rev_C_final_ok. The site visit is a notebook and a phone gallery. The permit renewal is a date the office manager happens to remember. The structural engineer emailed a revised detail straight to the contractor, so the set you issued and the set being built from stopped being the same document sometime last month. When the client asks for a status across the three projects they have with you, someone opens four folders, a mail thread and a WhatsApp chat and starts assembling. The engineering is sound. The record around the engineering is not, and the record is what you will be asked for.
The project is the container, and it holds what an engineering project actually consists of: the drawing register with revision status, the specifications and calculation notes, the disciplines involved, the permit and approval milestones, the inspection reports, the deliverable schedule, the client and the fee stages. Not a folder tree that only makes sense to the person who built it.
The site visit stops being retyped. An inspector opens the project on a phone, fills the inspection form on location with photos attached, and every finding that needs action becomes an assigned item with a date. The report the client is expecting is drafted by Atty from that form rather than reconstructed from a notebook after dinner.
Issuing becomes a record instead of an email. Deliverables go out through a controlled share with who received what, on which revision, on what date, and superseded revisions are marked as superseded rather than left in a folder waiting to be opened by mistake. Two years later, when someone asks what you issued in March, the answer is a lookup.
Findings, photos, measurements and non-conformities are captured on the form at the site, once. Atty drafts the inspection report and the client update from that record, so the evening reconstruction stops and the engineer who did the walk is not also the person retyping it.
One register, one current revision, one issue log, so the expensive failure mode of a contractor executing a superseded detail loses its usual cause. And the document store, the forms tool, the scheduling tool, the client records and the team chat are all in the product already, so the separate subscriptions and the manual copying between them both go.
Who received which revision, when, and what they were told about it. Inspection findings carry an owner and a due date instead of sitting in a report nobody actioned. When a dispute arrives, you answer from the record rather than from three people's recollections.
A consultancy usually caps out on senior attention, not on technical capacity. When each project carries its own register, milestones and inspection pattern, and Atty drafts the reports, the reminders and the client updates, a principal can stay across more concurrent projects without becoming the bottleneck on all of them.
Every one of these is built in and already connected to the others. Nothing here is an integration you have to buy or wire up.
Every drawing, specification and calculation sheet sits on the project with its revision status, so the current version is obvious and the superseded ones are labelled rather than lurking in a folder.
Point Atty at a long specification, a regulatory document, a tender package or a contractor submittal and ask what it obliges you to do. You get an answer with the section it came from, in minutes instead of an afternoon.
Inspection checklists, non-conformity reports and commissioning forms are filled on a phone at the site, with photos and readings attached where they were taken. Nothing gets transcribed later from memory.
Each deliverable is a card with its discipline, its owner, its review stage and its due date, so electrical, structural and mechanical work is visible on one board instead of three separate plans.
Permit submissions, renewal deadlines, authority inspections and site visits sit on the project calendar with the documents they need attached, so a compliance date is not something one person is quietly responsible for remembering.
Send a drawing set, a report or a permit package to a client, a contractor or an authority through a controlled share, and keep the record of who received which revision and when.
Each client keeps their projects, their issued deliverables, their correspondence and their outstanding items in one place, including the developers and institutions you work with repeatedly across years.
Track the agreed fee against the stages delivered and the hours the project is actually consuming, so a project going past its fee shows up while there is still scope to discuss.
No. It does not author, open or coordinate geometry, and your team keeps working in the CAD and modelling software they already use. Attain OS manages what surrounds those files: the register, the revision status, the review and approval stages, the issue record and the inspections that reference them.
One project, disciplines as separate lanes on the deliverable board and separate sections of the register, with dependencies between them visible. An external specialist can be brought in as a collaborator limited to their own scope rather than given the whole project.
Yes. Sharing is deliberate and per item. You share a specific set, report or document by link, and you can give a contractor limited access to their scope only. Nobody gets the working files or the internal review just because they received an issued drawing.
Submissions, approvals, renewals and expiry dates go on the project calendar with the documents they require attached, and Atty can remind the person responsible ahead of the date. The obligation stops depending on one person's memory or one person's personal calendar.
It stays with the project and stays searchable. Years later, when a claim, a warranty question, an as-built request or an audit arrives, the drawings, the revisions, the issue log, the inspection reports with their photos and the correspondence are all in one place, still attached to each other.
Jobs, crews, punch lists and job costing — run from a phone.
One intake door, the right department, and a record of what was done.
Milestones, dependencies and a status report that assembles itself.
Dispatch, work orders on phones, and proof every job got done.
