Transforming project visibility for an Australian Tier 2 Builder
Moving from fragmented reporting to a single source of truth across 12 concurrent projects, resulting in proactive margin protection and accelerated decision-making.
The Challenge
The client managed 12 concurrent projects with a combined turnover exceeding AUD $100M. Data was siloed across various site management systems and finance applications, leading to "reporting fatigue" where management only understood project performance weeks after month-end.
- Fragmented project data
- Lagging financial indicators
- Difficulty comparing site productivity
The Solution
We implemented an integrated data architecture leveraging Microsoft Fabric and Power BI. By creating a unified data lake, we connected site operations directly with financial reporting.
Automated BOQ variance tracking updated daily.
Consolidated dashboard for project burn-rate analysis.
The Impact
"By bridging the gap between site diaries and head office finance, the team gained the ability to intervene on cost variances while they were still manageable."
