Traditional, accounting‑heavy project management tools in the AEC industry leave project managers struggling with fragmented visibility and manual spreadsheet workarounds. To solve this, the BST11 Project app offers a centralized, intuitive, web‑based workspace that simplifies project setup, enhances real‑time visibility into costs and resources, integrates financial management and provides interactive scheduling tools. By replacing cumbersome systems, the app helps firms improve profitability, streamline workflows, reduce risk and better manage projects of all sizes. It empowers PMs with a modern, user‑friendly solution that supports proactive decision‑making and more predictable project delivery.


AEC Project Management for Today’s Teams

In the modern architecture, engineering and environmental consulting (AEC) space, traditional project management tools often fall short. Project managers (PMs) are stuck using complicated, accounting-focused systems that are difficult to navigate and create fragmented visibility across projects.

Unable to monitor a project’s schedule, scope and cost in one place, PMs disengage from their project management ERP and create manual workarounds, often moving their work into disconnected spreadsheets. This creates a convoluted workflow that leaves the process open to inefficiencies and human error at every step. Teams today need a more unified and intuitive option that lets them work the way they want to work.

Meet BST11’s Project App

Designed specifically for project managers using BST11, our web application provides a centralized hub for project setup, planning and performance monitoring. Easy to learn and accessible on any device, it supports proactive decision making, eliminates reliance on spreadsheets, and enhances overall project visibility and control.

Our ERP solution also includes a web-based micro-app that simplifies PMs’ responsibilities in the billing process. Read more about the BST11 Billing app here: BST11’s Billing App: Eliminate Inefficient Billing Processes & Accelerate Cash Flow | BST Global 

Key Capabilities of the BST11 Project App

Within its intuitive, consumer-grade workspace, PMs can navigate the BST11 Project app as easily as they would their own smartphone — sorting and filtering data; adding, reordering and hiding columns; adjusting their timeline views and more. The BST11 Project app lets AEC PMs plan, track and manage projects with ease through these features and more:

  • Rapid project setup: With just a few key details, PMs can initiate projects using flexible work breakdown structures (WBS) that support simple and complex projects.
  • Real-time visibility: PMs have access to live cost analysis, progress metrics, resource allocation and performance data to support proactive decision‑making.
  • Integrated financial management: By connecting project accounting and billing functions, PMs get accurate forecasting, cash flow visibility, rate history and pricing term management.
  • Interactive Gantt scheduling: PMs can switch between daily, weekly and monthly project timeline views; enable non‑workday indicators and use full‑screen Gantt options.

BST11’s Project App Benefits

By replacing cumbersome, disconnected tools with BST11’s Project app, firms stand to:

  • Improve profitability by reducing administrative overhead and optimizing resource utilization.
  • Enhance decision-making with access to real-time project and resource insights.
  • Save time through streamlined access and workflows that minimize manual processes.
  • Support a dynamic portfolio of both small projects and large, complex engagements with flexible WBS.
  • Reduce risk with early visibility into performance metrics that help prevent overruns and delays.
