Engineering precision, delivered on programme.
Methvin gives engineers a single platform to manage project schedules, control drawings, track correspondence and keep every stakeholder working from current documents — with zero version-confusion on site.
Four disciplines. One engineering platform.
Everything engineers need to track progress, control documentation and manage technical communication — connected by design.
Programme-Linked Project Management
Maintain work packages, engineering deliverables and hold-point registers against a live schedule. Dependencies between design, procurement and construction are visible in real time — so slippage in one package surfaces immediately across the programme.
Controlled Drawing & Document Register
Issue drawings, specifications and submittals with full revision history. When a new revision supersedes the previous one, distribution list members are notified automatically and the old revision is archived — accessible for audit but never mistakenly used on site.
Visual Gantt Scheduler
Build and maintain bar-chart programmes with linked predecessors and resource constraints. The Gantt updates as actuals are entered — so the critical path is always current and you can model impact of proposed changes before committing to a revised baseline.
Technical Correspondence Register
Manage RFIs, site instructions, technical queries and hold-point sign-offs in a numbered, date-stamped register. Every item carries a configurable response deadline, and overdue items escalate automatically — so technical queries never stall construction progress.
Purpose-built tools for engineering teams
Each module is built for how engineers work — and they share the same project data so nothing needs re-entered.
Project Management
Work-breakdown structures, engineering milestone registers, hold-point tracking and sub-contractor coordination — linked to real-time programme data and cost commitments in one workspace.
Explore Project Management →Document Control
Maintain a controlled register of drawings, specifications, material submittals and O&M manuals. Revision supersession, transmittal records and controlled distribution lists ensure every person and package is on the latest issue.
Explore Document Control →Gantt Scheduler
Build bar-chart programmes, link predecessor relationships and track actual vs planned progress. Critical-path highlighting and baseline comparison let you communicate schedule status to the client with a single click on reporting day.
Explore Gantt Scheduler →Correspondence
Issue and resolve RFIs, technical queries, site instructions and early warnings through a structured register. Response-period tracking, auto-escalation and a complete audit trail ensure technical decisions are always documented and defensible.
Explore Correspondence →Schedule, documents and correspondence — connected.
When your programme, drawing register and RFI log share the same data, you can trace the impact of a technical query all the way to a schedule delay — and resolve it before it becomes a claim.
- RFI responses automatically linked to affected drawings and work packages
- Drawing supersession triggers instant notification to all distribution list members
- Gantt baseline stored alongside actuals for contractual EOT submissions
- Role-based access for designers, sub-contractors and the client's engineering team
- Mobile access so field engineers can raise RFIs and access current drawings on site
Engineers who've made the switch
What civil, structural and infrastructure engineers say about Methvin.
“Managing RFIs by email was a disaster waiting to happen on a project this size. With Methvin, every technical query has a number, a response deadline and a full thread attached to the relevant drawing revision. We haven't missed a response date since go-live.”
“The Gantt scheduler integrates directly with our work packages, so when a sub-contractor reports a delay I can see immediately which downstream activities are affected and issue an updated look-ahead to the client in minutes rather than re-building a spreadsheet programme.”
“We were issuing drawings by email and tracking transmittals in a spreadsheet. The first time we had a wrong-revision concrete pour it cost us three days and a significant rework bill. Since moving to Methvin's document control that risk is simply gone — the system won't let you issue an out-of-date drawing.”
Frequently asked questions
What engineers ask before adopting Methvin on their projects.
Can the Gantt scheduler handle complex dependency chains?
Yes. Methvin's scheduler supports finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish and start-to-finish relationships with configurable lag. Critical-path calculation updates automatically as actuals are recorded, giving you an always-current view of float across the programme.
How does document supersession work when a drawing is revised?
When you issue a new revision, the previous revision is automatically superseded and archived. All members on the drawing's distribution list receive an automated notification and the document register updates instantly — preventing field teams from ever working from a cancelled revision.
Can external designers and sub-contractors submit documents through Methvin?
Yes. External parties can be granted portal access to submit drawings and submittals directly into the register, respond to RFIs and access documents within their scope — all without seeing confidential commercial or cost data from the wider project.
How are RFI response periods managed?
Each RFI is assigned a contractual response period when it's raised. Methvin calculates the due date, sends automated reminders as the deadline approaches and escalates overdue items to designated team members. The full response thread and any attached sketches or mark-ups are stored against the original query.
Can I store baseline programmes for EOT claims?
Yes. You can baseline the programme at any point — contract award, approved revisions, or both. The baseline is stored alongside actuals so you can produce a before-and-after comparison at any time, which is the core evidence required for extension of time submissions under most standard forms of contract.
Is the platform accessible from site on mobile devices?
Methvin is a cloud-based, mobile-responsive platform. Field engineers can raise RFIs, access the current drawing register, view the programme and receive correspondence notifications directly from a tablet or smartphone — no VPN or special setup required.
