Newforma products for engineers

Engineering firms are using Newforma Design Suite products to manage the full range of project information and processes, from searching for what’s changed in the codes of a fire and life safety system spec to seeing an email or RFI regarding a fuel storage and handling unit. They’re using it to coordinate commissioning information with the team, coordinate HVAC systems, access metered load studies from the road, view site design issuances and project images, and much more.

Project managers are using Newforma Project Analyzer to make more informed decisions about staffing and the use of budgeted fees. Principals are using it to gain visibility into firm-wide utilization and projected cash flow.

Designed for AEC workflows

The Newforma enterprise solution for PIM does not make you duplicate project data, as extranets do; it does not mandate filing rules and metadata tags, as document management software does; nor does it demand the customization and maintenance costs of SharePoint. Instead:
  • Organize and find all types of project-related information, including email.
  • Seamlessly share project information and processes with partner companies also using Newforma software.
  • Streamline and standardize common work processes for transmittals, action items, revision management, design review and more.
  • Provide clients and consultants with browser access to selected project information.Port of Portland Headquarters and Parking Garage mechanical room, courtesy of PAE Consulting Engineers

  • Instantly search the text of projects for specs, details, and oth
  • er design topics.
  • Support model-based design workflows.
  • Budget, staff, schedule, forecast and monitor project performance.

“Newforma Project Center gives us the power to manage the contractor, rather than having to use the contractor’s software.”

“I have to be honest, I never believed Newforma when they said that we would clear up our inboxes, but they were right. I'm down from 1,011 emails to approximately 35. I have to say that with the Newforma software, email has clearly become more manageable for our project team, and they can really spend quality time on other tasks. I can finally feel confident that when I file away something or create an issue using Newforma, I will know where to find it again later.”
