The hardest part of BI is not visualization—

it is modeling construction logic correctly.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1What does Business Intelligence mean in a construction context?

In construction, Business Intelligence (BI) converts fragmented project data—cost, schedule, progress, risk, contracts—into clear, actionable insights.

For owners, BI answers one question: "What decisions do we need to make now, based on reliable data?"

2How is Construction BI different from standard reporting?

Standard reporting is static, backward-looking, and siloed.

xPM's Construction BI is:

  • Integrated across cost, schedule, progress, and risk
  • Trend- and forecast-driven, not just historical
  • Focused on exceptions, impacts, and decisions

It shifts reporting from information delivery to decision intelligence.

3Who uses Construction BI within an organization?

Construction BI is designed for:

  • Owners and investors
  • CEOs, CFOs, COOs
  • Development and asset managers
  • Program and portfolio leaders

Dashboards are tailored to executive, portfolio, and project levels, each with the right depth and focus.

4What types of insights does xPM's Construction BI provide?

xPM's BI delivers insights such as:

  • Budget and forecast trends
  • Schedule performance and risk signals
  • Cash flow and funding exposure
  • Change order and contingency erosion
  • Cross-project and portfolio comparisons

The goal is early visibility, not post-mortem explanations.

5Can Construction BI be implemented on active projects or portfolios?

Yes.

xPM frequently deploys BI to:

  • Existing projects with fragmented data
  • Ongoing programs needing executive visibility
  • Portfolios requiring standardized reporting

Implementation can start with a focused pilot and scale across the organization.
