Paginated Reports

At Buro Matei, we specialize in Microsoft Paginated Reports—a powerful tool for generating automated, consistent PDF reports tailored to the unique needs of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects.
These tools eliminate inefficiencies caused by scattered files, siloed systems, and outdated processes, enabling teams to work cohesively, maintain accurate data, and streamline communication. With a deep understanding of EPC workflows, we design scalable solutions that align with organizational goals while setting the foundation for seamless transitions to advanced platforms like Dataverse, Power Apps, and Microsoft Fabric.
Power BI Paginated Reports are detailed reports with fixed layouts, ideal for printing or exporting to pdf.
They are used for tasks like invoices, monthly reports, specifications, datasheets, or official documents that need specific formatting. Unlike regular Power BI reports, they are built to handle large amounts of data and fit across multiple pages.


Our expertise extends beyond just building reports.
We provide end-to-end support to ensure your organization has the right data infrastructure in place to fully automate reporting processes across all project phases. Whether it’s weekly progress reports, monthly summaries, or data-driven contractual deliverables, we ensure your reporting is automated, accurate, and future-proof.

Challenges We Solve
Our Paginated Reports address key challenges in EPC reporting:
Manual reporting delays progress by requiring engineers and project controls teams to compile and format reports manually.
Data silos result in inconsistencies and make it difficult to generate accurate, consolidated reports.
Engineers lose productivity when repetitive reporting tasks distract from design and project execution.
Compliance with contractual, regulatory, and audit requirements becomes burdensome without automation.
Stakeholders demand professionally formatted reports that dashboards alone cannot provide. [Request consultation]
