At Buro Matei, we revolutionize traditional project controls by integrating advanced data-driven methodologies with automation, eliminating the need for dedicated project controls teams.
Project controls typically encompass schedule, cost, progress tracking, earned value management, risk assessments, and reporting. Traditionally, these tasks involve manually collecting data, maintaining spreadsheets, and generating static reports. We take a different approach, leveraging automation, advanced analytics, and centralized data systems to create dynamic, real-time insights that enable proactive decision-making.
Our approach ensures every aspect of project controls—from baseline establishment to detailed analytics—is accurate, consistent, and actionable, providing organizations with unparalleled predictability and efficiency.
Why Buro Matei
Automated Workflows: Our systems automate traditionally manual processes, such as cost forecasting, progress tracking, and reporting, reducing errors and freeing resources for strategic tasks.
Integrated Insights: Combining data from tools like Power BI, Dataverse, and Fabric, we create unified platforms that visualize and analyze schedule, cost, and productivity data in real-time.
Predictive Analytics: Through advanced AI models and Monte Carlo simulations, we predict risks, cost overruns, and schedule delays, enabling proactive mitigation strategies.
Graph Analytics Expertise: Using graph-based algorithms, we analyze dependencies, optimize workflows, and enhance critical-path management for complex projects.
Global Standards Alignment: All solutions adhere to industry standards, such as CFIHOS and ISO, ensuring compliance, scalability, and interoperability.
Challenges We Solve
Our services address critical challenges in project controls:
Manual Data Handling: Traditional systems rely on manual data entry and spreadsheet management, increasing the risk of errors and inefficiencies.
Limited Real-Time Visibility: Static reports delay decision-making and provide outdated insights.
Complex Dependencies: Managing relationships across schedules, costs, and resources requires sophisticated tools.
Fragmented Systems: Disconnected platforms hinder cross-disciplinary collaboration and data integration.
Resource-Intensive Processes: Maintaining manual controls teams consumes valuable time and effort.
