Our Construction and Engineering solution incorporates technology from Causeway Technologies; the leading collaborative, commercial, and supply chain solutions for the global construction industry, meeting both enterprise and project centric needs, for collaboration, document management, estimating, tendering, purchasing, cost and works management, and financial accounting.

Causeway's solutions provide proactive support for key design and construction processes on over $28 Billion of projects around the world.

Construction and Engineering is all about people -- about people working in teams -- creating, sharing, and managing information. Teams that collaborate better deliver construction projects at the right time and to the right budget and quality.  They make companies profitable.

Our solutions are comprehensive, simple-to-use software applications; specifically designed to address the communication challenges of today's Construction and Engineering industries. They connect everyone, no matter which company they work for, where they are located, or which projects they are involved in.

Powering your success, powering your projects. It creates a workspace for companies, project teams, and individuals to work together and share up-to-date information rapidly and accurately.

The system speeds up project communications, reviews and approvals, supports the automation of business processes, and improves operational efficiency. Collaboration allows people to focus on details without losing sight of the big picture. It gives them the time to add value and the space to innovate.

Collaboration

Construction and Engineering is all about people -- about people working in teams -- creating, sharing, and managing information. Teams that collaborate better deliver construction projects at the right time and to the right budget and quality.

View and annotate documents and drawings online

Causeway Collaboration allows users to work together in teams, with clearly defined roles and access to information:

§         view 250+ native file formats

§         interact or chat with peers online

§         control views with layers, rotation etc

§         view site dimensions, areas, distances etc

§         version control, audit trails and background meta data

Greater Design Transparency

With all teams members aware of latest version, audit control over all documents and the capability to incorporate electronic workflows to ensure process standardisation; organisations shall enjoy greater levels of design transparency than possible before.

Processes & Interaction between Parties

Large projects require staggering levels of interaction between parties. Without the capabilities to structure these interactions and manage them, the project is doomed to failure. With our Construction and Engineering Collaborative solution, all parties involved in the project shall be able to interact through user defined forms with automated workflows.

Customized forms to ensure structured processes

Applications for Customised Forms:

§         Approvals (regulatory or internal)

§         Interaction between agencies

§         Instructions, requests etc

§         Powerful background workflows

§         Transparency & accountability

§         Electronic signatures

Retain Project Knowledge

Typically during large projects, unique problems present themselves and are solved; but how do we retain that knowledge that has been created during a project and, importantly, how do we reuse that knowledge? Importantly, our Construction and Engineering Collaborative solution allows for knowledge to be retained and re-used in such a way that Project Engineers can easily search for past solutions to problems.

Search functions to ensure all derived knowledge is available

Powerful Search Functions

§         Search by text, attributes, categories etc

§         Results by rankings, highlights

§         Direct access to relevant info

§         Knowledge store of past designs with categorical definitions
