The Challenge

The client managed 12 concurrent projects with a combined turnover exceeding AUD $100M. Data was siloed across 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

Site and finance data unified in one governed data lake

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."
