Your whole practice runs in one place.
Haunch replaces the spreadsheets, shared folders and email threads a structural or civil engineering firm runs on. Win the work, run every project, keep a record you can stand behind, and see the whole practice — from the office, the site, or home.

Follow one job all the way through.
From the first enquiry to a record you can hand an insurer. Press play, or click any step to explore it yourself.
Every enquiry tracked from first call. Drag a deal to Won and it becomes a live project — no re-typing.
One system for the whole life of a job.
Most tools cover a slice — a to-do list here, a folder there. Haunch follows the work from the first phone call to the final fee, so nothing falls down the gap between apps.
Win the work
Log enquiries, send quotes and track what's in play. Won deals convert straight into a live project.

Out of the spreadsheets. Off the one office.
The average small practice runs on a dozen spreadsheets, a shared drive and a lot of email. It works — until someone's off, a file's the wrong version, or a client asks what happened in March.
A practice held together by spreadsheets.
- —Fees, time and project lists in separate spreadsheets only one person really understands.
- —Drawings and calcs on a shared drive — which revision went out, again?
- —Decisions and sign-offs buried in email threads and notebooks.
- —You have to be in the office to find anything.
- —When an insurer asks for a record, it's days of digging.
One place the whole practice trusts.
- →Fees, time and projects live and linked — everyone sees the same numbers.
- →Every drawing and calc versioned, with a clear issue register.
- →Decisions and sign-offs captured as you work, in the audit trail.
- →Open it from site, home or office — same view, always current.
- →A sealed, verifiable record is one click away.
Every work item, tracked to the drawing.
Numbered tasks scoped to each project — typed, labelled and assigned to the right person. Checklists, sub-tasks and linked contacts keep the whole job moving without the email chain.
- →Org-wide labels: RFI, Drawing, Calc, Council, Building Regs
- →Checklists & sub-tasks with live progress
- →Assignees, due dates and external contacts on every task
See the whole practice, not just the projects.
The numbers a principal actually watches — fees outstanding, team utilisation, pipeline and the health of every live job — on one screen, refreshed as the work happens.
- →Fees agreed, invoiced, outstanding & overdue at a glance
- →Team utilisation — who's flat out, who's free
- →Every live project carrying a health flag
A record you can stand behind.
Every significant action — issued drawings, calc sign-offs, decisions, fee changes — lands in an append-only trail. When an insurer, certifier or client asks what happened, export a sealed, verifiable record.
- →Append-only log: who did what, and when
- →Integrity-checked — nothing can be quietly edited
- →Export a sealed PDF/CSV record for insurers & certifiers
Win the work, run the job, grow the team.
The parts of practice life other tools ignore — from first enquiry to chartership.
The whole practice, not just a to-do list.
Generic project tools don't know what an RFI or a Part B submission is. Haunch is shaped around the way an engineering firm runs a job — from first call to final fee.
Vault
A versioned home for every drawing, calc and letter. Search it; restore any revision.
Fees & time
Log time against tasks and watch fee stages, margin and what's left to invoice — per project.
Contacts
Clients, consultants and councils in one place, linked to their projects.
Calc check & sign-off
Independent second-engineer checks with a recorded sign-off trail for PI insurance.
Drawing issue register
Track which revision went to whom, when and why — transmittals on tap.
CDM risk register
Record significant design risks and mitigations to meet your designer duties.
Site inspections
Structured site reports with photos; flag an observation and it becomes a task.
Deadlines & reminders
Council decisions, RFI turnarounds and Building Regs windows — never missed.
A spreadsheet doesn't know what an RFI is.
Generic project tools can hold a task list. They don't understand drawing revisions, calc sign-offs, CDM duties or sealed tenders — the things an engineering practice actually runs on.
Made for engineering practices — not everyone.
Haunch is shaped tightly around how structural & civil firms work. That focus is the point. Here's where it fits, and where it doesn't.
✓A good fit if you're…
- →Structural or civil engineering practice — from a sole trader to a 30-person, multi-office firm.
- →A principal or director who wants one honest view of fees, capacity and project health.
- →An engineer who'd rather do engineering than chase spreadsheets and folders.
- →A practice manager keeping fees, time and records straight across the firm.
- →A team that needs to work from site or home, not just one office.
○Probably not for you if…
- ○You're a main contractor after a full site-management or ERP platform.
- ○You want a blank, generic kanban to bend to any industry.
- ○You need 3D/BIM modelling or analysis — Haunch runs the practice around those tools, it doesn't replace them.
- ○You're a non-engineering team — the language and workflows won't fit.
Built for work that has to stand up later.
Engineering records can be called on years after a project completes. Haunch is built so the record holds — and so it's always yours.
Tamper-evident audit trail
Significant actions are written to an append-only, integrity-checked log. Nothing can be quietly edited after the fact.
Role-based access
Owner, associate, engineer, office and draft roles decide who sees fees, pipeline and practice numbers — and who doesn't.
Your data, exportable
Export projects, fees and a sealed audit record to PDF or CSV whenever you like. No lock-in — the practice's data stays the practice's.
Encrypted in transit & at rest
Traffic is served over TLS and your data is encrypted at rest, with regular automated backups behind it.
Calc sign-off for PI
Independent checks are recorded with author, checker and date — the evidence your professional-indemnity insurer expects.
Grant time-boxed access
Give an auditor or certifier read-only access to a project's record, then revoke it when they're done.
