Firm profile
Dynamic Engineering is a Florida-based engineering firm specializing in building exterior envelopes with a focus on roof-heavy projects for condos and national firms. With 10 staff members, they prioritize scalability, efficiency, and clear systems to deliver exceptional work while reducing operational stress.
Disorganization, Missed Hours, and Constant Stress
In previous firms, leadership at Dynamic Engineering felt stuck in the 1980s. They saw how “custom” workflows really meant everyone just did things their own way—resulting in wasted time, delays, and inconsistent results.
Time tracking was unreliable. Missed hours from uncoordinated site visits went unnoticed, and leadership had no visibility into which projects were actually profitable. Deliverables often took longer than expected, creating last-minute rushes and strained client relationships.
Collaborating with architects only added to the challenges. Misaligned expectations, poor communication, and late requests disrupted timelines, further compounding the team’s stress.
"We had no idea what projects really made in terms of profit. We also had a hard time tracking workflow and would always undershoot the time it took to get client deliverables."
– Emerson Chapelle, Vice President, Dynamic Engineering
Deciding on Monograph
Dynamic Engineering needed a system built specifically for how A&E firms work. Leadership focused on three priorities: workflows had to be scalable, progress had to be trackable, and the platform had to provide actionable feedback for better decisions.
Monograph’s design-centric approach checked every box. It offered intuitive tools to align project tracking, staff assignments, and timelines, while its logical flow matched the firm’s operations perfectly. Leadership saw it as the ideal solution to bring clarity and consistency to their processes.
Plus, ease of use was critical. Monograph’s simple interface made it accessible for the entire team—including Virtual Assistants—allowing everyone to create, edit, and manage projects without needing constant oversight.
“Project management in one place. Love the visuals. Love the ease of use to create and edit projects. Easy to make changes. Workflow has improved at our firm.”
– Emerson Chapelle, Vice President, Dynamic Engineering
Streamlined systems and visual clarity
Monograph centralized project management into one system, driving 2x efficiency and replacing complexity with clarity. Visual tools made technical aspects of the business, like project budgets and staffing, easy to understand. Leadership could see workloads, progress, and inefficiencies at a glance, allowing them to make confident decisions.
The platform’s simplicity ensured everyone, from project leads to administrative staff, could manage workflows without constant oversight. Teams could create and edit tasks independently, improving efficiency and reducing bottlenecks.
By turning complicated metrics into clear visuals, Monograph empowered leadership to focus on growth instead of troubleshooting.
“Monograph’s visual tools made decision-making so much easier. Whether it’s seeing workloads or digging into project details, it’s intuitive and reliable for everyone on the team.”
– Emerson Chapelle, Vice President, Dynamic Engineering
Recovered revenue and improved collaboration
Monograph helped Dynamic Engineering grow profit 25% by recovering revenue that had been slipping through the cracks. With improved time tracking, the team identified where unbillable services were happening and adjusted their processes to prevent them. This made invoicing more accurate and ensured all billable hours were captured.
The platform also reduced stress by simplifying workflows and aligning schedules. Clear project timelines helped the team set realistic expectations with clients and avoid last-minute requests. Even when priorities shifted, the team stayed aligned and operated more efficiently.
Leadership could focus on growth instead of troubleshooting. With better tools and clearer processes, Monograph transformed how the firm managed operations and built stronger client relationships.
"Monograph helped us catch what we were missing. Better time tracking and collaboration tools have transformed both our operations and our relationships with clients and partners."
– Emerson Chapelle, Vice President, Dynamic Engineering
Dynamic Engineering didn’t just improve operations—they established the scalable tools they needed to grow profitably and sustainably.
By combining project management, staffing, and workflow tracking into one easy-to-use platform, the team can focus on what they do best: delivering high-quality engineering solutions.
