Project profitability visibility

The situation

A construction company managing multiple residential and commercial projects simultaneously.

Around 30% of projects were unprofitable, while profitable ones were offset by losses. Financial tracking was done only at the end of projects, making it impossible to react in time.

Our approach

Implement real-time financial control and manage profitability at the project level.

1Implemented daily margin tracking for each project.
2Set up daily operational data collection (WhatsApp reports + manager inputs).
3Automated tracking of labor hours and material usage.
4Introduced plan vs actual budget control.
5Built project dashboards (margin, progress, deviations).
6Developed a company-wide dashboard (revenue, costs, P&L, cash flow, risks).

Outcome

Full control over project financials – shifted from reactive to proactive management.
Unprofitable projects nearly eliminated.
Cost overruns reduced significantly.
Decision-making moved from end-of-project analysis to real-time execution.
