Frequently Asked Questions
How does BigTime help engineering field teams track time?
BigTime’s mobile-first time tracking makes it easy for engineers, surveyors, and field techs to log hours from any job site. Teams can submit accurate time entries on the go with just a few clicks, via BigTime’s mobile app. All logged time syncs with the engineer’s live projects, so you can see how the team is tracking towards milestones at any moment.
Can BigTime support complex billing structures like work orders, T&M, and NTE limits?
Yes. BigTime is purpose-built for complex engineering projects—and that includes complex billing. Your team can set up projects in BigTime to match your precise billing logic, whether that’s lump sum contracts, time and materials, or not-to-exceed agreements. Because your entire workflow is synced within BigTime, you’ll also be able to monitor the full health of your projects in real time and spot any risks coming down the pipe.

How does BigTime improve project visibility for engineering project managers?
Many engineering firms are only aware of overruns when projects reach accounting. BigTime solves this by giving project managers real-time insights into budgets, timelines, resource utilization, and task progress. This information is updated continuously and brought together in one platform, so PMs can see what’s going on at any moment in time and course-correct as necessary.
Is BigTime a good fit for small engineering firms? What about multi-office ones?
BigTime is specifically built to scale with your firm. Whether you are managing a lean, growing team, or a multi-location firm managing hundreds of active projects, our platform is designed to help you drive profits and protect margin.
While smaller engineering firms might benefit from our easy-to-adopt time and billing features, large enterprises may be a better fit for our multi-entity, mutli-currency capabilities. Book a 20-minute consultation with our team to explore the best option for your team.
What integrations does BigTime offer for engineering firms?
BigTime integrates with QuickBooks, Salesforce, HubSpot, Sage Intacct, Lacerte, and dozens of other tools used by engineering firms. With open API access, you can also connect BigTime to your custom systems, ensuring a smooth flow of data across CRM, accounting, and project delivery. Explore our full integration ecosystem here.
How does BigTime help engineering firms reduce project delivery risk?
BigTime gives leaders greater visibility into engineering projects—including potential risks—with real-time data on:
- Time tracking
- Task completion
- Budgets and margin
- Resource planning
BigTime’s real-time reporting dashboards make it possible for leaders to monitor projects at every stage. Engineers, office teams, and PMs can catch scope creep, budget overruns, or staffing conflicts early, and adjust in real time to keep engagements on track.
