Power BI Dashboards for EPC Projects

Power BI Dashboards for EPC Projects
At Buro Matei, we specialize in designing and implementing advanced Power BI dashboards tailored to meet the complex challenges of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects.

At Buro Matei, we specialize in designing and implementing advanced Power BI dashboards tailored to meet the complex challenges of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects. With a foundation built on firsthand experience in EPC roles—from engineering and subcontract management to project leadership—we’ve developed scalable, integrated tools that transform project management.

Power BI Dashboards are interactive views that show key data and metrics in one place, often combining information from different sources.

They are good for quick insights and allow users to explore details when needed. Power BI Reports are more detailed and include multiple pages of data visualizations like charts and tables. Both dashboards and reports help users understand data and make decisions.

Power BI Dashboard
Since 2014, we’ve evolved from developing Excel-based tools to leveraging Microsoft Power BI’s capabilities.

Our dashboards now address every phase of EPC execution, offering real-time, actionable insights that drive efficiency, improve collaboration, and ensure alignment across disciplines.

Challenges We Solve

Our Power BI dashboards address critical challenges faced by EPC organizations:

Lack of real-time visibility, leading to delayed decisions and inefficiencies.

Inefficient collaboration across engineering, procurement, and construction disciplines.

Manual, error-prone systems that hinder productivity and increase rework.

Poor integration of data from diverse sources like 3D models, document systems, and procurement platforms.

Leadership struggles in adopting data-driven project management practices.

Our Approach 

At Buro Matei, we deliver Power BI dashboards through a balanced strategy focused on mindset, technology, and execution: 

1. Mindset

1. Mindset

At Buro Matei, we bring a unique mindset shaped by hands-on EPC experience. Unlike standard dashboard developers, our team has worked in roles such as engineers, subcontract managers, and project managers, we understand EPC workflows, pain points, and challenges better than anyone.

2. Technology

2. Technology

Our technical solutions are engineered to provide reliable, scalable, and integrated dashboards that adapt to the dynamic needs of EPC projects.

3. Execution

3. Execution

Our dashboard services go beyond developing tools. Our Power BI dashboards are designed to transform how EPC projects are executed, driving alignment, efficiency, and productivity.

Results 

Our solutions have delivered measurable outcomes for large-scale EPC projects, demonstrating the power of tailored, multi-disciplinary dashboards:

70% Rework Reduction
99% First-Time-Right IFC Deliverables

Developed dashboards for tracking engineering tasks, particularly isometric production, which reduced revision rates from a historical 70–300% to less than 1%. This achievement significantly decreased rework, minimized delays, and enabled more efficient workflows, ensuring deliverables met the highest quality standards from the start.

3 month ahead schedule
Accelerated Engineering Completion

Leveraged dashboards to optimize collaboration and progress tracking, enabling the engineering phase to be completed three months ahead of schedule. This effort included a 33% reduction in team size during the final nine months, highlighting our ability to streamline processes without compromising quality.

Improve productivity
Flawless Model Reviews

Created dashboards for 3D model readiness, ensuring that all models were reviewed and prepared with zero outstanding tag issues. This innovation reduced traditional week-long model review sessions to mere hours, with no follow-up actions required—saving time and ensuring alignment across teams.

70% Rework Reduction
Automated To-Do Lists for Daily Scrum Meetings

Implemented integrated dashboards that generate daily discipline-specific to-do lists. This system uses traffic-light indicators to identify tasks ready to proceed, those requiring input, and any performed out of sequence. It eliminated lengthy meetings, weekly reporting, and out-of-sequence work while enabling teams to focus on actionable priorities.

3 month ahead schedule
Improved Modular Construction Coordination

Designed dashboards to monitor and control weight and center-of-gravity calculations for modular construction. These tools ensured accurate data management, preventing shipping and lifting issues.

Improve productivity
Unified Subcontractor Performance Tracking

Consolidated data from multiple subcontractors into a single dashboard, providing real-time insights into performance, productivity, and progress across engineering and construction disciplines.

70% Rework Reduction
Data-Driven Procurement Insights

Developed procurement dashboards to visualize progress, identify bottlenecks, and proactively address timing issues, ensuring smooth project execution.

3 month ahead schedule
Enhanced Graph Visualizations

Utilized semantic and graph visualization dashboards to explore relationships and dependencies in project data, enabling teams to better understand complex interconnections.

Improve productivity
Global Collaboration Enablement

Partnered with a global EPC organization to design scalable dashboards, train internal teams, and implement sustainable Power BI strategies. The client now relies on our expertise for multiple international projects, underscoring our ability to deliver impactful, long-term solutions.
