- Engineering teamFor the firm's admins, engineers and designers: a project from intake and triage through design, inspection and delivery, plus clients, billing and settings.
- Client adminsFor the office staff of a company that sends work to an engineering firm: submit a project, answer questions, follow its status and get the report.
- Field inspectorsFor certified field inspectors (CFIs): sign in with an emailed code, record an inspection on site, and submit it.

If your engineering firm is just starting, begin with Onboarding your firm: what is ready on day one, the setup to do first, and how workflows built around your kind of work are added.
How the three fit together
A project is passed between a client company and its engineering firm. Each guide covers one side of that hand-off.
- The client starts a project. A field inspector records the inspection on site, or the office enters it. See Complete an intake and Submit a new project.
- The engineering firm reviews it. It approves the intake, or pushes it back with a reason for the client to fix. See Intake and triage.
- The firm designs it and sends the report. See Design and Getting your report.
- If the job needs an inspection, the client supplies the construction details and the firm verifies them. See Inspection details and Inspections.
Both sides can write comments on a project. Each side can also keep notes the other never sees.
