Carbon Accounting Software for Australian Engineering and Environmental Consultants

Engineering consultants - civil, environmental, structural, geotechnical - deliver carbon reporting as part of ISCA IS Rating submissions, environmental impact assessments, and project-level sustainability advisory. The project-based structure of engineering practice maps naturally to Carbonly's per-project pricing. Multi-client, multi-project, one workspace.

What changes for engineering and environmental consultants

  • Per-project pricing (Small, Medium, Large, Enterprise) matches the project-based delivery model of engineering consulting
  • ISCA IS Rating scheme data extract preparation with Level 4-6 attribute mapping (submission still runs through the ISCA portal)
  • Environmental impact assessment (EIA) supporting data - Scope 1/2/3 emissions per project phase, per activity, per equipment set
  • Multi-project structure lets a consulting firm run 50+ client projects on one workspace
  • AI document engine reads Boral, Holcim, InfraBuild, Ampol, BP invoices - the same suppliers most engineering consultants deal with on infrastructure projects
  • JV consolidation with operational, financial, and equity-share methods for infrastructure JV structures

What the system does

  • ISCA IS Rating Category 15 Sustainable Materials + Category 16 Sustainable Sourcing data extracts (no direct ISCA portal API - data export only)
  • Per-facility Scope 1 mobile combustion via calculation rules (odometer-reading delta workflow) suits fleet-based construction projects
  • Custom formulas for the long-tail engineering-specific materials that no standard NGA factor covers
  • Match Provenance badge shows the auditor which records used ISCA-referenced factors vs NGA 2025 factors vs custom formulas
  • MCP server + Copilot lets the engineering lead ask ChatGPT or Claude Desktop "which projects are behind on Q3 material submissions"
  • Full audit trail with 7-year retention aligned with NGER Determination and typical infrastructure project record retention requirements

Frequently asked

Does Carbonly submit directly to the ISCA IS Rating portal?

No. Carbonly produces the ISCA IS Rating data extract (Category 15 Sustainable Materials, Category 16 Sustainable Sourcing) with the required attribute mapping. The engineering consultant uploads to the ISCA portal manually. Direct ISCA portal API integration is not implemented.

Can we split the workspace by project?

Per-project structure is the default. Each project has its own reporting periods, source documents, audit trail, and role assignments. A single consulting firm workspace can host dozens of client projects each fully isolated.
