Power BI gives insight into your construction project

What is Power BI?

Power BI provides transparent insight into your construction project by converting data into a clear dashboard. You collect this data from different data sources such as SAP, Primavera P6, Excel, Microsoft Project or AX. Power BI then makes this visual, making the most important achievements clear at a glance. How do you put this data to good use and make timely adjustments?

Power BI for construction companies

WWhy is using Power Bi interesting during a construction project? During construction projects, several events often take place that affect the progress of the construction project. By keeping track of this, the dashboard provides the insights to make quick decisions and act on these events in a timely manner. Additional and reduced work, delays, preliminary and subsequent calculations are examples that are clearly visible to stakeholders in a dashboard.

Data from external parties (subcontractors)

In construction projects you deal with many different external parties who provide data from different data sources and systems. You collect this data in Power BI, which ensures that you maintain control over data and use the dashboard to assess risks or make adjustments. Power BI makes your construction project transparent.

Insight through a dashboard is an important step towards process optimization and control of the project. The first step is to establish measurable management data, which we call KPIs (key performance indicators). With the help of KPIs, measurable data is converted into correct decision-making that fits the project.
