One Microsoft 365 hub for engineering work â without changing your process.
When procedures and templates live in many places, you get errors, rework, policy breaches, and wasted time.
đ Results at a glance
- fewer design errors
- fewer RFIs & change orders
- ~10% design time saved
- ~30% shorter review cycle
đ What it is
A standardized framework on SharePoint + Planner that keeps procedures, checklists, templates, standards, and lessons learned in one place and links them to daily tasks.
- Best practice built in (clear, step-by-step)
- One source of truth for seniors & juniors
- QA/QC in daily work (not after-the-fact)
- Fits your stage-gates and tools (ACC, Revit, EPLAN)
đģ Built on Microsoft 365
- Native ecosystem: SharePoint, Planner, Approvals/Power Automate, Teams, Power BI (optional)
- Same corporate permissions & security (Microsoft Entra ID groups, MFA, audit trail)
- Stored in your tenant: SharePoint / OneDrive for Business
- Clean, familiar interface; governed guest access if needed
- No new licenses
đ Continuous improvement (built-in)
- Approvals: content changes follow review/approval before publish
- Version history: full change log; roll back anytime
- Comments & page notes: SMEs capture rationale and decisions
- Change requests: quick edits flow to owners for validation
- Lessons learned â updates: findings feed directly into procedures/templates
Outcome: SMEs, design engineers, QA, and ops keep guidance current, so the HUB improves every week.
đī¸ Where it applies
Design â Construction â QA/QC â Commissioning â Operations.
Teams keep their tools; the HUB provides one way of working on top.
đ Impact by phase
- Design: fewer design errors (caught earlier) âĸ ~5â10% time saved âĸ â20â30% review cycle âĸ ~30â50% less rework
- Construction: fewer design-originated site issues âĸ fewer RFIs & change orders âĸ â20â30% approval/clarification cycle
- Commissioning: fewer defects at FAT/SAT âĸ higher first-time pass âĸ faster punch closeout
- Operations: fewer repeat errors âĸ â10â25% MTTR âĸ â10â20% time-to-find O&M info âĸ â15â30% onboarding time
đ° Financial: typically ~0.1â0.5% of CAPEX protected per project, plus recurring OPEX gains.
âī¸ How it works
- Task â Procedure â Template
Planner task opens the exact SharePoint procedure and correct template. - QA/QC integrated
Reviews, checklists, approvals, and audit trail. - Standardized handover
Clean, complete packages for clients/operations. - Lessons learned loop
Feedback updates procedures and templates (with approvals + versioning).
âšī¸ ACC vs HUB: HUB standardizes how you work; ACC remains the contractual CDE for models/drawings and approvals.
đĨ Who benefits
- Heads of Engineering / Design Managers
- PMO / Quality
- Engineers (senior & junior)
