Breakthrough Starts Here
Your budgets & schedules are blown. Here's the fix.
We know exactly where you are right now. Projects running over budget. Deadlines slipping. Your best engineers drowning in documentation instead of solving real problems. Clients getting frustrated. Competitors somehow delivering faster.
Two and a half years ago, we proved there’s a better way. Faced with an impossible deadline and no budget for specialists, we used AI to complete expert-level calculations in 4 hours instead of 3 weeks. The project stayed on budget. The client stayed happy. And we discovered the breakthrough that’s now transforming dozens of businesses.
Here’s the truth: Your team is spending 60% of their time on work AI could do better and faster. That’s not a technology problem. It’s an opportunity to multiply your capacity without hiring a single person
We’re not software vendors or consultants who left engineering years ago. We’re practicing engineers who run projects every day. When we cut our proposal time by 70% and freed up 10 hours weekly, we documented exactly how. When we turned last minute proposals into 40% higher win rates, we systematized the process.
Now we teach engineering firms the exact framework that brings back the joy of real engineering while delivering breakthrough performance. No hype. No theory. Just practical AI systems that work in the real world of schematics, drawings, calculations, proposals, and deadlines.

Proof in the Performance
Engineers and Leaders Who’ve Transformed With Us
"From constant crisis to breakthrough performance in 8 weeks"
“We were hemorrhaging money on blown budgets and losing our best engineers to burnout. Shane’s AI system gave us 30% more capacity without hiring anyone. Now we deliver on time and our engineers actually enjoy their work again.”
– Principal, Mid-sized EPC Firm
"ROI in 3 weeks, profitable in 6"
“The Crawl-Walk-Run-Sprint approach was perfect for us. We started seeing wins in week one with basic training, and by the Sprint pilot, we had hard ROI data. The workflow analysis provided a roadmap to unlock $2MM in capacity.”
– Owner, 15-person Industrial Distributor
"Finally delivering projects on budget"
“We went from 45% of projects on budget to 87% in three months. My engineers are energized and clients are happy.”

Meet the Founders
We've Been in Your Shoes (And We Found the Way Out)
Hey, Shane and Mary here. You know that crushing feeling when your best engineer tells you they’re considering a new job? Not because they hate engineering, but because they’re drowning in spreadsheets instead of solving real problems? We’ve been there.
After 15 years leading engineering projects, Shane watched too many brilliant minds burn out on administrative tasks while projects hemorrhaged money. Mary saw the human cost: talented people going home defeated, too drained to enjoy their families, questioning if this was really what engineering was supposed to be.
Then came the breaking point…
A critical project, no specialist available, no budget, no schedule. Shane cracked it with AI in a matter of hours instead of waiting 3 weeks for a consultant. That wasn't just a project saved. It was a revelation.
We realized engineers aren’t asking for less work. They’re asking for work that matters. So we built Obnovit to prove something radical: when you combine battle-tested engineering discipline with practical AI, you don't just save time. You give people their passion back.
Today, we're still practicing engineers. We still face tight deadlines and demanding clients. But now we also help firms transform from chaos to clarity. Because every engineer deserves to love Monday mornings again.
