Also impressive, according to director <a href=\"http:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/customers\/liam-massey-hbl-associates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liam Massey<\/a>, is the company\u2019s capacity to scale \u2014 both for the growth of their business and employees, and for the size of their projects.<\/p>\n<p>Massey started as a trainee technician and worked his way up to director.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHBL Associates has been going for nearly 30 years, expanding organically over that time to employ twenty-two staff,\u201d Liam says.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6521\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-2-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-2-768x499.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur clients range from private individuals and small businesses up to FTSE 100 companies. It\u2019s quite a broad spectrum we work on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a growing consulting engineering business, the question for HBL became how to keep progressing without losing flexibility with staff and client growth.<\/p>\n<h3>Time is (not) on our side<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThree of us became associate directors at the same time,\u201d Massey says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat kickstarted the look at <a href=\"http:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/engineers-project-management-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Total Synergy<\/a> as we wanted to find better ways to run the practice and project management, which, until then, involved a lot of spreadsheets in various locations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpreadsheets mean there\u2019s a large possibility of error and a lot of time went into keeping these spreadsheets up to date. With the manual input there was always the possibility that certain stages in the construction process might have invoicing delayed, for example.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem is that spreadsheets don\u2019t scale with the business,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese were Excel spreadsheets that we\u2019d created years ago and added to, and added to, when we needed to record more things. The spreadsheet system was kicking out information that was helpful, but it wasn\u2019t the full picture the business needed. We had to take a step back and consider what additional information we needed to be able to keep the business growing.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6520\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-1-768x499.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Time to step back and see the bigger picture<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWe were just waiting for the right solution, essentially. We recognised that software like <a href=\"http:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/engineers-project-management-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Synergy<\/a> would give a certain amount of time back,\u201d Massey says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can <a href=\"http:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/features\/forecasting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">track business<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/features\/projects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">projects<\/a> a lot more easily with Synergy. Even though we\u2019ve got very different sizes of contracts, we can now keep a track of them all in a single, central location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The old spreadsheet system] was quite limited in what it produced because it relied on us adding to them as we went along. Whereas the joy of working with software like Synergy is that you\u2019ve gone out into the [architectural, engineering, and construction design] AEC industry and asked what we need. You\u2019ve incorporated that into Synergy and it feels like it is designed for our specific needs. We\u2019re getting information that we now see we need, but we might not have realised previously. It\u2019s certainly a massive value added in being able to look at the business as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6523\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-4-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-4-768x499.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>In it for the engineering, not the spreadsheets<\/h3>\n<p>HBL Associates is a consultancy with a passion for engineering at its heart. Juggling spreadsheets and labouring over data input was costing engineering time. Asked what he loves most about his work, Liam says it\u2019s the satisfaction of seeing your innovative solutions being constructed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you get a tricky engineering scenario, you sit down and think about how it has to be constructed and then at the end of the project you take a step back and you look at your creation,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at [the amount of time] saved with Synergy, I\u2019d say it\u2019s probably ten percent, overall, per engineer. If you just add up the <a href=\"http:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/engineers-project-management-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">number of hours<\/a> that you stage a project\u2026 I mean, every single engineer\u2019s finding Synergy a lot easier to work with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If we take Liam\u2019s advice and look at his estimation of time saved using industry-specific business and project management software (ten percent of time for every engineer), we can start to get a feel for the amount of time HBL Associates has been able to win back.<\/p>\n<p>If eleven of HBL\u2019s employees out of twenty-two are engineers, and we average their billable time to be 40 hours per week \u2014 some will work more, and some less \u2014 then the sums turn out the frightening equations below.<\/p>\n<p>11 (engineers) x 40 (hours per week) = 440 engineering hours per week \u2192 10% of 440 is 44 (hours per week saved)\u2026 That\u2019s a staff cost to the business of more than 1 engineer. Full time. Working on administration.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve certainly simplified this in order to demonstrate the point, but whichever way you look at it, those saved hours can be immediately redeployed on billable project delivery work.<\/p>\n<p>A good business and project management software solution can give you that time back to spend on the work that you actually love.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6522\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-3-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HBL-associates-Engineering-inline-3-768x307.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Scalable success \u2014 the forest and the trees<\/h3>\n<p>Liam Massey has always been clear that HBL\u2019s management software needed to be scalable, both in terms of the size of the business itself and the scope of their projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve taken Synergy on board at this stage to improve our structure around <a href=\"http:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/features\/projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tracking<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/features\/invoices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">billing<\/a> project delivery work,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe next step is to grow with the software and tap into all the additional functionality around <a href=\"http:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/features\/documents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">document management<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/totalsynergy.com\/features\/project-portal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">project collaboration<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>HBL is a prime example of how a scalable, cloud project and business management software, used well, can help a growing AEC business become more effective and efficient.
