🧭 Engineering HUB

🧭 Engineering HUB

One Microsoft 365 hub for engineering work — without changing your process.

When procedures and templates live in many places, you get errors, rework, policy breaches, and wasted time.

📊 Results at a glance

  • fewer design errors
  • fewer RFIs & change orders
  • ~10% design time saved
  • ~30% shorter review cycle

📘 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)

đŸ’ģ 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

🔄 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 → updates: findings feed directly into procedures/templates
    Outcome: SMEs, design engineers, QA, and ops keep guidance current, so the HUB improves every week.

đŸ—ī¸ Where it applies

Design → Construction → QA/QC → Commissioning → Operations.

Teams keep their tools; the HUB provides one way of working on top.

📈 Impact by phase

  • Design: fewer design errors (caught earlier) â€ĸ ~5–10% time saved â€ĸ –20–30% review cycle â€ĸ ~30–50% less rework
  • Construction: fewer design-originated site issues â€ĸ fewer RFIs & change orders â€ĸ –20–30% approval/clarification cycle
  • Commissioning: fewer defects at FAT/SAT â€ĸ higher first-time pass â€ĸ faster punch closeout
  • Operations: fewer repeat errors â€ĸ –10–25% MTTR â€ĸ –10–20% time-to-find O&M info â€ĸ –15–30% onboarding time

💰 Financial: typically ~0.1–0.5% of CAPEX protected per project, plus recurring OPEX gains.

âš™ī¸ How it works

  1. Task → Procedure → Template
    Planner task opens the exact SharePoint procedure and correct template.
  2. QA/QC integrated
    Reviews, checklists, approvals, and audit trail.
  3. Standardized handover
    Clean, complete packages for clients/operations.
  4. Lessons learned loop
    Feedback updates procedures and templates (with approvals + versioning).

â„šī¸ ACC vs HUB: HUB standardizes how you work; ACC remains the contractual CDE for models/drawings and approvals.

đŸ‘Ĩ Who benefits

  • Heads of Engineering / Design Managers
  • PMO / Quality
  • Engineers (senior & junior)
