Every deliverable becomes a control object

Engineering deliverables are the backbone of any engineering consultancy or EPC project. Drawings, documents, calculations, models, and vendor data collectively determine quality, schedule adherence, cost performance, and client satisfaction.

When deliverables are planned, monitored, and controlled systematically:

  • Package completion becomes predictable
  • Engineering completion forecasts become reliable
  • Construction and procurement dependencies are protected

This predictability enables better downstream planning, reduced claims, and improved client confidence.

Defining the Deliverable Structure

  • Planning starts by breaking down the project scope into clearly defined engineering deliverables:
    • Discipline-wise (Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Piping, Instrumentation, etc.)
    • Deliverable-type-wise (Drawings, documents, calculations, models, reports)
    • Package-wise or area-wise, aligned with the project execution strategy
  • Each deliverable is uniquely identified and becomes a control object in the system.

Schedule-Driven Planning

  • For every deliverable, planned dates are defined:
    • Planned start and finish dates
    • Key internal and external milestones
  • Schedules can be:
    • Created directly within SmartProject, or
    • Imported from enterprise planning tools such as Primavera or MS Project

Workflow Definition as Part of Planning

  • Every deliverable is assigned a predefined workflow that reflects the organisation’s engineering and quality process. Typical stages include:
    • Design
    • Drafting
    • Discipline checking
    • Interdisciplinary review
    • Project manager approval
    • Client / PMC review
    • Comment incorporation and resubmission
  • Roles and responsibilities are mapped to each stage, ensuring clarity on who does what and when.

Controlling Quality Through Workflow Enforcement

  • Once planned, deliverables can only move forward by following the configured workflow. The system:
    • Automatically routes deliverables to the next responsible role
    • Prevents skipping of mandatory quality steps
    • Captures approvals, rejections, and revisions digitally
  • At critical workflow stages, online checklists are enforced:
    • Different checklists for designers, checkers, and reviewers
    • Checklist completion is mandatory before progressing
    • Checklist responses are captured as part of the deliverable record

Version Control and Audit Trail

  • Engineering information continuously evolves. SmartProject ensures:
    • Only the latest approved version is accessible for use
    • All revisions and changes are automatically recorded
    • Complete audit trail of who changed what, when, and why
  • This eliminates the risk of using outdated information and supports full compliance with ISO-based quality systems.
RULES OF CREDIT Design completed 30% Drafting completed 50% Discipline check 70% Client-approved 100% S-CURVE Planned Actual

Monitoring Deliverables Using Earned Value Principles

  • Each workflow stage is assigned a rule of credit (weightage), such as:
    • Design completed – 30%
    • Drafting completed – 50%
    • Discipline check completed – 70%
    • Client-approved – 100%
  • For every deliverable:
    • A planned S-curve is generated based on schedule and rules of credit
    • An actual S-curve is automatically captured as the deliverable moves through workflow stages
PROGRESS W4 W8 W12 Planned Actual Deviation detected Alert before deadline CORRECTIVE ACTION Reallocating resources Parallelising activities Critical deliverables

Proactive Control and Corrective Action

  • When actual progress lags behind planned progress:
    • The system highlights deviations early
    • Project managers are alerted before deadlines are impacted
  • This allows timely corrective actions such as:
    • Reallocating resources
    • Parallelising activities
    • Prioritising critical deliverables
  • Because progress is measured continuously—not just at submission—the team can recover delays within the remaining duration, instead of discovering issues at the end.

Integrated Collaboration Across Disciplines

  • SmartProject provides a single collaborative environment where:
    • Information is automatically shared through workflows
    • Manual emails and file transfers are eliminated
    • Everyone works on the same, latest information
  • This dramatically reduces coordination delays and rework, shortening the overall deliverable cycle time.

Real-Time Dashboards for Full Visibility

  • Project and engineering managers gain instant visibility through dashboards that show:
    • Deliverable-wise status and progress
    • Discipline-wise performance
    • Planned vs actual progress trends
    • Potential delays before they become critical
  • Because data is captured directly from execution workflows, reporting is real-time, accurate, and effort-free.
Benefits

Benefits

Brings planning, quality control, progress monitoring, and collaboration into one integrated environment, helping engineering teams deliver accurate information on schedule.

Improved delivery predictability

Aligns every engineering deliverable with project schedules, milestones, packages, and downstream requirements.

Early identification of delays

Compares planned and actual progress continuously, allowing teams to act before deadlines are affected.

Consistent engineering quality

Enforces approved workflows, reviews, approvals, and digital checklists without allowing mandatory stages to be skipped.

Accurate progress measurement

Uses rules of credit and S-curves to measure progress at each workflow stage—not merely when a deliverable is completed.

Reduced errors and rework

Ensures everyone accesses the latest approved version with complete revision history and audit trails.

Faster multidisciplinary collaboration

Connects disciplines, offices, clients, consultants, PMCs, and vendors through controlled digital workflows.

Effortless real-time reporting

Provides dashboards showing deliverable status, discipline performance, progress trends, and potential delays.

Talk to our team
Can deliverable schedules be imported from Primavera or MS Project?

Yes. Schedules can be created directly within Wrench SmartProject or imported from enterprise planning tools such as Primavera or MS Project. Each deliverable then carries its planned start and finish dates along with key internal and external milestones.

How is progress measured for a deliverable before it is complete?

Each workflow stage is given a rule of credit, for example design completed at 30%, drafting at 50%, discipline check at 70% and client approval at 100%. A planned S-curve is generated from the schedule and those weightages, and the actual S-curve is captured automatically as the deliverable moves through its stages.

Can mandatory review and approval stages be skipped?

No. Once planned, a deliverable can only move forward by following its configured workflow. The platform routes it automatically to the next responsible role, prevents mandatory quality steps from being skipped, and captures approvals, rejections and revisions digitally.

How are checklists used in quality control?

Online checklists are enforced at critical workflow stages, with different checklists for designers, checkers and reviewers. A checklist must be completed before the deliverable can progress, and every response is captured as part of the deliverable record.

How does the system warn us about delays?

When actual progress lags behind planned progress, Wrench SmartProject highlights the deviation early and alerts project managers before deadlines are impacted. Dashboards also show potential delays before they become critical, leaving time to reallocate resources, parallelise activities or prioritise critical deliverables.

Can clients, PMCs and vendors work on the same deliverables?

Yes. The platform connects disciplines, offices, clients, consultants, PMCs and vendors through controlled digital workflows, with client and PMC review built in as a workflow stage. Information is shared automatically through those workflows, so everyone works on the same, latest information without manual emails or file transfers.
