Screenshot of InEight Estimate’s Benchmarking feature, which allows users to compare high, low, and average costs, as well as productivity rates from past projects, to visually assess whether current estimates fall within a realistic range. With historical performance data at their fingertips, estimators can bid more strategically and deliver more reliable, data-driven estimates.
Screenshot of InEight Estimate’s CBS Register, which provides a user-specific view of an estimate, allowing users to create unlimited WBS structures and custom rollups. With parametric cost item assemblies, estimators can generate more accurate, reliable, and data-driven estimates.
Screenshot of InEight Document’s Dashboard, that delivers a centralized, visual view of project information across all modules. Interactive dashboard tiles make it easy to track document activity and maintain visibility into project performance.
Screenshot of InEight Document’s Gallery, which offers a comprehensive visual library of all project-related files—including drawings, photos, and documents—so teams can quickly access and manage the content they need from one intuitive location.
Screenshot of InEight Schedule’s Risk Management feature, which enables project teams to evaluate schedules through a risk-adjusted lens. By visualizing scenarios with varying confidence levels, teams can anticipate potential impacts and plan with greater certainty.
Screenshot of InEight Change’s PCO Summary dashboard that delivers a visual summary of all potential change orders. This helps project teams evaluate impacts, track approvals, and manage changes proactively for better cost and scope control.
Screenshot of InEight Project Controls’ EVM Dashboard that provides real-time earned value insights, showing the true percent complete of a project. With accurate cost and schedule performance data, teams can identify variances early and keep projects on track.
Screenshot of InEight Project Controls’ Progress Curves that visualize planned versus actual performance across project execution. With clear progress trends based on installed and planned quantities, teams gain actionable insights to drive productivity and performance.
Screenshot of InEight Schedule’s Short Interval Planning, used to empower teams to break down high-level CPM schedules into detailed daily or weekly task plans. This granular view enhances coordination, resource allocation, and field execution efficiency.

InEight Document - Engineering and Construction Projects Best Friend

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use InEight Document on various engineering and construction project. It addresses the issue of keeping documents and revisions readily available in an easy to use, concise manner. The end-users like the ease of use and hardly any training was required to get them up and running.

Pros

  • Review workflows are easy to configure and execute
  • The document register is easy to search and find documents
  • The ability to configure the register in multiple ways and the use of dynamic folders is an excellent tool

Cons

  • Selecting multiple documents is quite difficult since it is missing the ability to select one and hold the shift key to select multiple documents in a group.
  • Getting to the Change Document Details function for multiple documents could be much easier. I would prefer to see it on a toolbar rather than buried under Actions-Admin-Change Document Details.
  • Viewer could be better configured to create stamps. It is a bit clunky.

Return on Investment

  • Has allowed us to offer Document Control as a service to our clients.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our teams focuses on the planning and measuring features, helping us bridge the gaps we historically had with communicating production targets, assessing performance and maintaining data consistency and certainty. Additionally, our forecasting accuracy has increased significantly, not only supporting the business strategy development, but also our estimating precision and win rates, provided we now have more reliable and timely data available.

Pros

  • Short term interval planning
  • Progress measurement
  • Work packages

Cons

  • Document control interface and integration
  • Change management

Return on Investment

  • Increased forecasting accuracy
  • Better CPI and SPI, therefore higher margins
  • Better change management

Well suited for Construction Project Management

Verified User
Program Manager (51-200 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We implemented it as a project and portfolio management system. It ensures all projects are managed consistently, teams can collaborate in one central system, and there is transparency across functions. A key issue it solves for is data availability, information accuracy and ease of reporting. Projects are managed on the system from the start of construction until COD.

Pros

  • It combines a range of construction project facets that are otherwise disconnected
  • It uses AWS and data is readily available for reports and customisable dashboards (PowerBI)
  • It is created for construction projects, so it includes contractor management elements

Cons

  • Navigation isn't always seamless since the system is a combination of a few legacy systems (different links to navigate)
  • Some complex functionality cannot be disabled for smaller more basic projects
  • Implementing the software has shown to be complex and requires strong consulting guidance

Return on Investment

  • It has improved our visibility across our portfolio, improving shareholder reporting
  • It reduced the number of Document Controllers we believe should be appointed with our next big project
  • The license and implementation cost has been significant, but the level of trust in our ability to deliver on our projects has improved in line
