Engineering Consultancy Dashboard: Fees vs Hours, Utilization and Report Deadlines

An engineering consultancy dashboard shows which projects are eating more hours than the fee covers, how loaded each engineer is, which reports are due and how tenders are going. Describe your projects and timesheets and Mythex builds a dashboard that reads them from your own app or a CSV export.

Who it's for

Structural, civil and geotechnical practices that learn a project lost money only when it closes, and directors who need a weekly view of deadlines and workload across engineers.

What you can build

Hours booked against fee per project and stage
Utilization per engineer by week
Reports and calculations due in the next 14 days
Tender win rate by sector
Unbilled work by project stage
Revenue by client and by architect who referred the work

Fee against hours, by stage

Fixed fees hide overruns until the end. Chart hours booked against the fee for each stage, so a feasibility study at 80% of its hours with half the work left shows up while there is still time to talk to the client about scope.

Deadlines against workload

Late reports hold up the client's programme. Put report due dates next to each engineer's booked hours for the next two weeks. A clash seen two weeks ahead can be reassigned; one seen the night before cannot.

Where the data comes from

If your projects and timesheets live in an app built with Mythex, the dashboard reads them directly. Otherwise, upload CSV exports from your timesheet or practice software. Live connections depend on whether that software offers an API.

Mistakes to avoid

Do not judge engineers on utilization alone; site visits and checking time matter. Do not mix tender hours into project fees. And keep the director view separate from what each engineer sees, so the numbers start useful conversations rather than defensive ones.

A prompt to start from

Build a dashboard for my engineering consultancy. Show hours booked against fee for each project and stage with a warning above 80%, utilization per engineer by week, reports and calculations due in the next 14 days next to each engineer's workload, unbilled completed stages, and tender win rate by sector. I will upload projects and timesheets as CSV exports.

Questions

What should an engineering consultancy dashboard show?

Project fees against hours, engineer utilization, upcoming deadlines and tender outcomes. Those explain most profitable and painful months.

Can it use data from my timesheet software?

Yes, from a CSV export. Upload it and the dashboard charts it; direct connections depend on whether your software offers an API.

Can engineers see only their own workload?

Yes. Ask for logins with roles, where engineers see their projects and deadlines and directors see the whole practice.

Do I need a developer?

No. You describe the charts in chat, check them in the live preview and adjust by asking, for example 'split hours by stage'.

What does it cost?

Build and publish on the Free plan with no card. Pro at $25/month adds code editing, export and a custom domain.
