Numa for Engineering & Surveying

From fee proposal to final sign-off — the admin runs itself.

Numa is the AI operating system for engineering, surveying and consulting firms of 20–200 staff. It connects the tools you already run — Microsoft 365, your practice management system, Xero, MYOB — then drafts the admin that steals billable time: proposals, timesheets, reports, RFIs, invoicing and fee reporting. Your engineers and surveyors review, certify and own the work; Numa does the assembly.

What Numa does inside a consultancy

Every stage of the engagement, without the paperwork tax.

Stage 1
Win the work
Proposals drafted from precedent
Draft a fee proposal, methodology and team CVs from your own past work — the principal reviews and refines instead of writing from a blank page.
Fees that actually recover
Build the fee against the real hours comparable jobs consumed, so you price to a realisation rate you can live with — not by feel.
Stage 2
Scope & resource
Engagements set up to be read
Open every job from the accepted proposal — phased fee budget, agreed scope, PI cover confirmed — so fee burn is trackable from day one.
Resourcing that isn't wrong by Wednesday
Allocation and crew scheduling surfaced against live commitments and deliverable dates, so utilisation is balanced deliberately, not guessed weekly.
Stage 3
Deliver & certify
Reports drafted, engineers own them
Technical reports drafted from the analysis record and firm precedent — the engineer verifies every input and owns the conclusions that go out under their name.
Review packs assembled, you certify
QA and peer-review packs gathered in one place so the reviewer reviews. Numa assembles; your CPEng or licensed cadastral surveyor certifies and signs.
Stage 4
Know your numbers
Timesheets that aren't a Friday guess
Each person's timesheet drafted from actual activity, split to job and phase, ready to confirm — so utilisation and fee burn are numbers you can trust.
Fee burn seen before the overrun
Fee burn surfaced against the phased budget while the job runs, so a principal can act on an overrun while there's still fee to protect — not book a write-off after.
The certification guardrail
Numa drafts and assembles. Your CPEng or licensed cadastral surveyor reviews, certifies and signs.
In a firm that carries personal liability on every producer statement, that line isn't a caveat — it's the design. Numa removes the assembly that steals review time, so the qualified reviewer has more time for the judgement only they can make and legally must make. The professional responsibility never leaves the professional.
