Engineering and Design
Building the Foundation for Centralized Data and Teamwork
In EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects, engineering and design are the cornerstones of successful execution. Deliverables such as line lists, equipment lists, mechanical datasheets, and 3D models form the backbone of project planning and implementation. However, managing these deliverables across disciplines requires precise coordination, robust tools, and a unified platform.
At Buro Matei, we combine deep technical expertise with cutting-edge technology to provide oversight, management, and integration for all engineering disciplines. Leveraging Microsoft Dataverse, Fabric, and Power BI, we deliver centralized systems where process, mechanical, structural, architectural, electrical, and HSE teams collaborate seamlessly. Every deliverable is aligned with global standards like CFIHOS, ensuring compliance, consistency, and smooth handover to operations.

EPC Challenges
Engineering and design teams in EPC projects face a range of challenges:
Siloed Workflows: Disciplines often work in isolation, leading to inconsistent data and misaligned deliverables.
Manual Data Management: Deliverables like line lists and datasheets are often managed through spreadsheets, increasing the risk of errors and inefficiencies.
Integration Barriers: Limited collaboration across disciplines slows progress and creates delays in critical updates.
Compliance Gaps: Deliverables often lack alignment with international standards, complicating operations, maintenance, and handover.
Lack of Centralized Data: Without a single platform, teams struggle to monitor progress, track dependencies, or manage changes efficiently.
What We Offer
Buro Matei supports all key engineering and design disciplines by combining technical expertise, advanced platforms, and structured workflows. We integrate and manage:
Project Management
Expertise in coordinating complex, multi-disciplinary teams, ensuring schedules, budgets, and quality are consistently maintained.
Health Safety Environmental
Health, Safety, Environmental (HSE): Dashboards and frameworks to monitor safety actions, environmental metrics, and regulatory compliance.
Modular Design
Modular Design: Advanced planning for modular execution, including weight control, center-of-gravity calculations, and transportation logistics.
Electrical and Controls
Electrical & Controls: Control narratives, I/O lists, and wiring diagrams are managed to ensure consistency, reliability, and compliance with industry standards.
Structural and Civil
Structural and Civil: Foundation layouts, steel detailing, and drainage plans are managed with centralized tools to optimize design and execution.
Architectural
Architectural: Building layouts, material specifications, and façade designs are aligned with both aesthetic and operational requirements using integrated platforms.
Mechanical and Piping
Mechanical and Piping: From equipment lists to piping isometrics and stress analysis, we streamline workflows, enhance coordination, and automate repetitive tasks.
Process Engineering
Process Engineering: Deliverables like line lists, PFDs, P&IDs, and equipment datasheets are centralized in Dataverse for consistent, real-time collaboration.
How We Work
We deliver engineering and design services through a structured approach that ensures collaboration, consistency, and alignment across disciplines:

Centralized Data Management:
- All deliverables are stored and managed in Dataverse-backed systems, providing a single source of truth for all stakeholders.
- Attributes and properties align with CFIHOS standards, streamlining handovers and ensuring compliance.

Integrated Workflows:
- Disciplines collaborate on the same platform, ensuring that updates are automatically reflected across related deliverables.
- Tools like Power Automate and Fabric Pipelines automate repetitive tasks, reducing manual effort and errors.

Real-Time Visibility:
- Power BI dashboards track progress, dependencies, and readiness for every discipline, ensuring proactive decision-making.

Seamless Collaboration:
- Cross-discipline integration ensures that deliverables like line lists, piping isometrics, and building layouts are updated dynamically, breaking down silos.

Partner-Driven Execution:
- While Buro Matei provides oversight, project management, and systems integration, we collaborate with trusted engineering partners to execute designs efficiently and effectively.
