For EPC contractors

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

Every EPC engagement lives on P&IDs. 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 P&IDs no software can read.

The P&ID is the master document of every engineering deliverable across every project phase. Bid teams manually extract equipment and line lists from client-supplied PDFs. FEED teams re-read them to structure the design. Detailed engineering teams re-read them to produce isometric deliverables. Construction crews redline field changes on paper. As-built teams re-draft them before handover.

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 per P&ID in hours, not weeks. Every extraction is drawing-traceable. Proposals move faster. Estimates are grounded in verifiable counts. Margin is protected from the first day of execution.

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 PDF P&ID becomes structured data, regardless of source or age. Decades of legacy drawings become a usable engineering graph in days. Revamp scope locks in earlier. Change orders have a defensible baseline.

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.
