Software we built and use ourselves
The P&ID and its bill of quantities, kept in one drawing instead of two files
P&ID Studio is the tool Barmaan's own engineers use to draft, revise and cost process and instrumentation diagrams — every tank, pump, valve, line and instrument placed as a tagged symbol, not a free-hand line, so the equipment list, the line list, the instrument list and the estimate all read off the same drawing.
This is a staff tool, not a public app — there is no open URL to click. This page describes exactly what it does; ask us for a walkthrough on a call.
Who this is for
Four people, four different questions
EPC contractor / project owner
Can Barmaan run process engineering as a drafting office, not a one-off drawing?
Yes — every drawing lives in a register with real revision control: a draft is edited in place, an issued sheet is locked and only a new revision can change it.
Permit authority / third-party reviewer
Will the sheet print in the language my jurisdiction needs, next to English?
Each drawing carries a jurisdiction profile — country, licensing authority and a second language (Arabic, Farsi or Kurdish Sorani) — and the same generator plots both languages on one sheet.
Procurement / cost engineer
Where does the bill of quantities come from, and can it drift from the drawing?
It cannot: the priceable catalogue is generated from the same equipment, pump, line and instrument tags the drawing carries, so a price line always points at something actually drawn.
Client receiving the drawing
Am I looking at the office's working file or the sheet meant for me?
A drawing can be forked into a client-delivery copy, marked as such in its own title block — the internal working revision and the copy handed over are never the same document by accident.
How a sheet becomes final
A revision is either being drawn, or it is locked
Every P&ID revision carries one of four statuses, and the moment it is issued the geometry and every table on it are write-protected at the database layer — not just in the editor's UI.
Draft
Being drawn. Edited in place — geometry, tables and tags all change freely.
Issued for review
Sent out for comment. Locked: the drawing itself cannot change under this revision number any more.
Issued for construction
Approved to build from. Locked, same as review — a construction-issue sheet is never quietly edited.
Superseded
Replaced by a later revision. Kept in the register, not deleted — a project's drawing history stays readable.
An issued revision cannot be unlocked, by design — the only way to change it is to open the next revision as a new draft, which starts unlocked and remembers exactly which sheet it came from.
The by / checked / approved fields of a revision start empty and stay empty until a real person signs the paper — no button in the studio fills them in.
One drawing, nine sheets
The drawing, its tables and its estimate, in one document
Opening a revision in the studio opens all of this together — not a diagram file plus a set of spreadsheets kept in sync by hand.
The P&ID
The plotted diagram itself, drawn from a symbol library of 27 tagged shapes across ten toggleable layers — equipment, pumps, piping, valves, instruments, flow arrows, line tags, holds, legend and notes.
List sheet
The second plotted sheet: equipment list, pump list, line list, instrument list and hold register, laid out for the same generator to plot and sign.
Equipment
Tag, description, type, capacity, material, design pressure and temperature, and the standard it is built to — one row per vessel, tank or package on the sheet.
Pumps
Tag, service and the standard the pump is specified to, tied to the same tag placed on the diagram.
Line list
Line number, service, from/to and pipe spec for every piping run tagged on the drawing.
Instrument list
Tag, the equipment it belongs to, its function and its location — read straight off the instrument bubbles on the sheet.
Hold register
Open engineering questions the drawing itself flags — printed on the sheet, not filed away in a separate email thread.
Notes
General notes, numbered and bilingual, printed on the list sheet.
Cost estimate
A priced line per tag, rolled up into one total — see below.
The estimate is the drawing, priced
A bill of quantities that cannot name something the drawing doesn't have
Every equipment, pump, line and instrument tag on the sheet is a row the estimate can price — nothing is typed into the estimate that was not already placed on the drawing.
Quoted in one currency
USD, AED, IQD or IRT per estimate, with the USD exchange rate snapshotted at quote time — a historical total does not move when a rate does.
Contingency and installation, rolled in
A contingency percentage and an installation percentage apply to the direct total automatically, for a grand total that is never a hand-added spreadsheet formula.
An honesty count, built in
The studio counts how many of the drawing's tags actually carry a price against how many exist — an estimate cannot quietly look more complete than it is.
