For EPC contractors

Bid faster. Deliver cleaner. Protect margin on every project.

Every EPC engagement lives on engineering documents — P&IDs, piping isometrics, PFDs, line lists. Every phase — proposal, FEED, detailed design, construction, handover — re-reads them by hand. The engineering hours that compound into your cost structure are the same hours that compress your lump-sum margin. Armeta changes that math.

The EPC problem

Every EPC project lives or dies on engineering documents no software can read.

P&IDs, piping isometrics, and line lists are the critical engineering documents behind every deliverable across every project phase. Bid teams manually extract equipment and line lists from client-supplied P&IDs. Detailed engineering teams re-read isometrics for fabrication deliverables. Procurement teams reconcile line lists against drawings by hand. Construction crews redline field changes on paper. The engineering knowledge is there — it's just siloed across documents that no software has ever connected.

Every re-read is billable somewhere. Every inaccuracy compounds downstream. And on lump-sum contracts, the inaccuracy turns directly into margin erosion.

Four workflows

Four EPC workflows, one extraction engine.

01

MTO for bids and estimates

Today

Proposal teams manually extract equipment and line lists from client P&IDs. Days to weeks per bid. Accuracy depends on how many engineering hours the proposal team was willing to absorb. 5 to 15 percent MTO inaccuracy on the resulting estimate quietly erodes margin on every lump-sum award.

With Armeta

Structured MTO from P&IDs and piping isometrics, contextualized against line list data, in hours — not weeks. P&ID-level equipment and line counts verified against isometric-level spool BOMs and line list attributes. Every item is document-traceable. Proposals move faster. Estimates are grounded in cross-document verification.

02

Brownfield and revamp projects

Today

Every revamp begins with decoding legacy drawings from previous contractors — different CAD systems, unknown scan quality, multiple generations of as-builts. Engineers spend weeks figuring out what they've inherited before any productive work begins. Revamp scope takes months to lock in.

With Armeta

Any critical engineering document — P&ID, isometric, or line list — becomes contextualized, structured data, regardless of source, format, or age. Decades of legacy documents become a unified engineering knowledge graph in days, not months.

03

As-built reconciliation and handover

Today

Field changes during construction are redlined on paper, then re-drafted manually. Change management runs on email, RFIs, and spreadsheets. Closeout consumes months of drafting time. As-built handover to the owner is one of the most frequently disputed project deliverables.

With Armeta

Auditable delta between any two revisions of the same drawing. Change tracking becomes automatic. As-built handover is faster, cleaner, and every documented change is drawing-traceable. The deliverable the owner signs off on is the deliverable the owner can audit.

04

Multi-office engineering leverage

Today

Lead offices and offshore execution centers each re-read the same drawings for their scope. Weeks of duplicated engineering work per project, per office. P&ID interpretation doesn't transfer cleanly between teams. The offshore engineering leverage that lowers project cost also multiplies the cost of P&ID reading.

With Armeta

One extraction per P&ID, shared as structured data across every office. Duplicated engineering hours disappear. Lead and execution teams work from the same graph. Offshore leverage delivers its full promised cost benefit.

The economics

The math works the first time you run it.

A simplified calculation for a typical EPC engagement:

These are the direct engineering hours. They do not include MTO accuracy gains protecting margin on the lump-sum contract, bid win-rate acceleration from faster proposals, brownfield data migration time compression, as-built handover quality improvements, or the multi-office leverage multiplier on offshore engineering centers.
