SOFTWARE BY FPEP ENTERPRISE
E1 Trace
Construction claims evidence and programme analysis software
Search project records using exact words and controlled synonyms, review highlighted passages, and prepare source-linked chronologies, timelines and programme reports.
Software for your own project team
E1 Trace is a Windows desktop application for working with construction project records. This public website introduces the software; it is not a signed-in project workspace.
Contact us to discuss a demonstration, availability, licensing and installation. If you need professional support with an assignment, you can engage FPEP separately.

IMPORT & CONNECT
Bring your records into the review
Start with local project folders or select records from Microsoft document libraries. Keep the source context alongside the imported evidence.
Import project folders
Bring PDFs, Word files, Excel workbooks, MSG or EML emails, P6 XER and Microsoft Project MPP programmes, and drawing files into the project workflow. Retain source records alongside the review.
Connect SharePoint, Teams & OneDrive
Sign in to discover available libraries and select files for controlled local copies. Access depends on your Microsoft account permissions and your organisation’s connection setup.
Retain the reference
The connector records source links, file metadata and integrity hashes alongside the intake snapshot. Remote-change checks help identify records that need further review.
Microsoft connections use read-only access and controlled snapshots. They do not edit the source library or provide continuous two-way synchronisation. Confirm connector availability and configuration for your E1 Trace deployment.

OPTIONAL WORKFLOW FOR LIVE PROJECTS
Capture on site and review as the project develops
For teams working on active projects, add field capture to bring site observations and supporting records into FPEP while work is under way. Keep the source context as the team considers events, change and potential impacts.
When to choose this option. Use it when a live project team needs a consistent route for recording observations on site and passing them to the people responsible for review. FPEP can also be used to review existing project records without adding this field-capture workflow.
How it works. The site team submits an observation and attachments through the configured gateway. A reviewer checks the submission in the inbox, returns it for clarification or accepts it, and arranges evidence registration or event promotion as appropriate. The reviewed information then supports notice, programme and commercial review.
01FPEP Field Capture
Record an observation with its location, date and supporting attachments. Keep the field account available for the reviewer.
02Secure Sync Gateway
Transfer submissions through the configured project gateway. Secure remote access requires an appropriately configured HTTPS deployment.
03Field Submission Inbox
Review incoming observations. Accept, return or reject a submission, retaining the review decision before event promotion.
Evidence Register
Bring supporting records into the evidence workflow, retaining their source references and review status.
Proposed Case Event
Consider whether the observation should become a case event. Accepted submissions can be promoted following review.
Event & Claim Intelligence
Review the event alongside its supporting evidence, then identify the further assessments and actions required.
Variation / MOC / Notice
Consider variation, management of change (MOC) and notice requirements, including the responsible person and next action.
Programme Impact Review
Examine the relevant activities, dates and programme context to assess potential time implications.
Commercial Assessment
Use the reviewed event and supporting records as inputs to an assessment of commercial implications.
Discuss the option for your project. Agree the participating site team, reviewer responsibilities, gateway and device access, and how accepted submissions enter the case. Availability, deployment and any associated licensing or service scope are confirmed before setup.
Discuss the live-project option →PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Getting started with E1 Trace
Do I need to log in to this website?
No. This is a public information website. E1 Trace is a separate Windows desktop application, so there is no website account to log out of.
Where does the software run?
E1 Trace is a Windows desktop application. Contact us to confirm installation and system requirements for your deployment. The website and screenshot tour can be viewed on other devices.
Confirm your Windows environment, organisation’s installation policy and intended workload before deployment. This page does not promise native Mac, iPhone or iPad application support.
How is it set up?
The current build guide describes extracting the complete package and starting its included launcher. A separate Python installation is not required. During an access discussion, confirm the package, permissions and any additional tools needed for your file types.
Where are the records stored?
The demonstrated workflow uses a case database and evidence files in the local working environment. Microsoft-library imports create controlled local snapshots with source references. Plan storage access, backups and retention with your organisation before importing client records.
The public website does not provide project-file upload. Agree a suitable transfer method separately for a professional-services assignment.
What is needed for SharePoint, Teams or OneDrive?
Microsoft connections require account access to the relevant libraries and your organisation’s connection setup. They use read-only access and controlled snapshots rather than continuous two-way synchronisation. Confirm permissions and any administrator involvement with your IT team.
Will every imported file be fully searchable?
Searchability depends on the source format and the quality of extracted text or OCR. MPP programme conversion and native drawing handling may require additional tools or suitable exports. Use a demonstration to check representative files and any limitations; see Import & connect.
How do access and pricing work?
Contact us to confirm E1 Trace availability, licensing, setup requirements and terms. There is no software checkout on this website.
Professional-service scope, deliverables and fees are agreed separately before an assignment begins.
Can I use MPP programmes and CAD drawings?
Programmes: P6 XER files use the programme importer. MPP files are converted to XML using Microsoft Project. If automatic conversion is unavailable, you can prepare an XML export in ProjectLibre. Original programme files are retained.
Drawings: DWG, DXF and DWF files are retained and opened in a compatible application. Retaining a drawing does not automatically extract its CAD content.
Can you help prepare a response to a claim?
Yes. The proposed scope can support claim preparation, review or response through evidence organisation, factual chronology and referenced supporting documents. The engagement will define the questions to address and responsibilities for conclusions.
Can a programme check identify the cause of delay?
A quality check identifies findings in the programme. A revision comparison shows recorded changes. Establishing the cause of delay requires further assessment of the programme, events and supporting evidence.
