Run your structural engineering practice with tools built for the way you design and deliver
Build project portals, RFI and submittal tracking, site inspection apps, drawing issue registers, calculation libraries and resource dashboards—just by describing what you need. Create internal tools for your team and client-facing portals for architects, contractors and owners, all tailored to your workflow.
Start with the basics
Build the tools your structural team actually needs
Structural projects move through phases, handoffs and tight deadlines while RFIs, submittals, design revisions and site observations pile up across email and spreadsheets. Keeping a clear audit trail between assumptions, calculations, drawings and field conditions is essential—but hard to maintain with generic tools.
Use YeshBe to build custom apps around your own process—from SD/DD/CD to CA. Create a project control hub with deliverable schedules, a drawing issue register and change logs. Track RFIs and submittals with statuses, owners and due dates, and capture responses in a consistent format that matches your firm’s standards.
Set up client and contractor portals for submitting questions and documents, and build mobile-friendly site observation apps that record notes, photos and action items. Maintain a calculation library with versions and peer-review checklists so your team can find, reuse and validate work quickly—all structured the way your practice operates.
- RFI and submittal workflowsBuild tracking tools with the fields, statuses and approvals your projects require.
- Field inspections and reportsCreate mobile-friendly apps to capture notes, photos, locations and punch items on site.
- Calculation library and QA/QCStandardize calc packages, versions and peer reviews so decisions are traceable.
- Client and contractor portalsGive stakeholders a simple way to submit RFIs or submittals and follow responses.

Project control hub
Bring deliverables, drawing issues and change logs into one place per project.
PromptBuild a project control hub for a structural engineering firm. Include: Projects (name, number, client, phase: SD, DD, CD, CA, start/end dates). Deliverables (project, type, issue number, target date, status, reviewer). Drawing Issue Register (project, sheet number, title, revision, description of change, reason, date issued). Change Log (project, description, origin: RFI/CO/Design, impact notes). Provide a per-project dashboard with counts and a simple timeline view, plus forms to add and update each record.
RFI and submittal portal
Let contractors and architects submit RFIs and submittals while your team tracks and responds.
PromptBuild a client/contractor portal for structural RFIs and submittals. Public-facing pages per project allow creating an RFI (subject, description, attachments/links, required-by date, company, contact name/email) or a Submittal (spec section, item, revision, attachments, notes). Internally, provide a dashboard to triage, assign to an engineer, set status (Open, Need Info, In Review, Responded, Closed), set due dates, and record the official response. Include filters by project, status and priority, and a shareable response page.
Field observation and site report app
Capture site notes, photos and punch items, then share a clean visit summary.
PromptBuild a field observation app for structural site visits. Include Projects and Sites. Create Visits with date/time, weather and attendees. For each Visit, capture Observations with category (foundations, frame, connections, slab, misc.), notes, photos, location pin, severity, action required, responsible party, target date and status. Provide a mobile-friendly quick-entry form and a visit summary page showing photos and open items that can be shared with stakeholders.
Calculation library and QA/QC tracker
Standardize calculation packages, versions and peer reviews across projects.
PromptBuild a calculation library and QA/QC tracker for structural engineering. For each Project, allow Calc Packages with title, discipline (steel, concrete, timber, masonry), design assumptions, references/links, version number, prepared-by, checked-by, and check status (Draft, For Check, Checked, Final). Add comment threads and a QA checklist (e.g., load paths confirmed, load combinations applied, deflection limits, connection checks). Include search and filters across projects, discipline and status, plus a template list for common calc types.
Questions and answers
Common questions about Structural Engineers
Answers to the questions owners ask us most often.
Do I need to know how to code to build these tools?
No. Describe what you want in plain language and refine it step by step. You can start simple and expand as your needs grow.
Can I create an RFI and submittal system that contractors can use?
Yes. You can build a portal for external partners to submit RFIs or submittals and an internal dashboard for your team to review, assign and respond.
Can I handle site inspections and photo logs from the field?
Yes. Build mobile-friendly forms to capture observations, photos and action items on site, and generate a visit summary to share with stakeholders.
We already use spreadsheets. Can I start by mirroring them?
Yes. Describe your current columns, statuses and workflows, and turn that structure into an app so the team keeps a familiar process—just more reliable.
