InEight Design overview

InEight Design is a design management application that lets designers, engineers, and contractors manage deliverables and quantities during the design process. Design gives you visibility into a project before the design is complete so that you can mitigate risk. Design is especially useful for projects that use alternative delivery methods such as engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) and design-build. Design brings designers, engineers, and contractors together into one application to stay on top of risks and project delivery impacts and provide transparency.

Design consists of two modules: Engineering and Quantity forecasting. Your organization might use one module more than the other depending on your industry and business processes.

The Engineering module lets you plan, allocate resources, and track the progress of design scope and deliverables.

Quantity forecasting lets EPC contractors consume design changes in quantity form, relate design changes and quantities to the budget, forecast, resource needs, and schedule, among other needs.

Design also integrates with the following InEight applications:

• Control – Budget data is used to accurately forecast.

• Report – Compares latest design quantity to the Control budget.

• Explore – Dashboards are available for both modules.

• Plan – Component data can be sent to Quantity forecasting.
