Real-time insights can transform how you manage your projects, helping you identify and address issues before they become major obstacles. In this piece, we’ll explore how our secure, user-friendly dashboards can revolutionize your project management processes.
We understand that the biggest challenges in project delivery often stem from the unknown. Whether it’s managing manpower, handling submittals, procuring materials, addressing open RFIs, or processing change orders, any of these areas, if not properly managed, can severely impact efficiency and cause significant delays.
Michael Giaramita, CEO, has focused on actionable data for decades, and as technology has progressed, our ability to predict outcomes and prevent schedule delays has never been more effortless. His influence and expertise have mentored both Eddie Cardozo, Director of Technology, and Dennis Abbate, Associate Director of Analytics, to set their sights on building innovative dashboards that make huge positive impacts with our clients and their projects.
Actionable data provides real-time insights into your project’s performance, highlighting issues that demand immediate attention. No longer do you have to rely on month-old data that keeps you lagging behind. Your goal: Remove obstacles and prevent project delays. And that’s exactly what actionable data helps you achieve.
Data Dashboards Propel Progress
Group PMX, part of the program management AECOM-Hill team, is helping to keep the $8.2 Billion NYCDDC Borough-Based Jail Program on track by providing expert services in master scheduling, cost estimating, cost management, and document controls – including transformative project data dashboards. The dashboards are an integral management tool driving the project’s forward momentum through informed decision-making and mitigating risk.
Drive Decisions with Analytics
Monitoring live data allows you to spot a problem or potential delay before it affects the schedule and eliminates the standard practice of reviewing old data. We bring data sources to life by building secure, user-friendly dashboards that will redefine how you approach project management. Our dashboards seamlessly integrate multiple data sources, providing a centralized, customizable, and interactive hub that enhances your ability to monitor project health.
Dashboard Example: Planned vs. Actual Manpower by Trade
- Total planned manpower vs. actual manpower by trade by day.
- Variance between planned and actual as a percentage of actual manpower.
- For any variance of more than 10% less than the plan, identify reasons why and remove the delay or hindrance immediately.
Dashboard SAMPLE: RFI’s (Request For Information)
- Tracking the number of RFIs submitted per project, the time taken to resolve them, and/or the RFI resolution rate.
- Identify critical RFIs and measure response time.
- Open RFIs + overdue + aging
Data Integration: The Backbone of Our Dashboards
We utilize Microsoft Power BI to create dashboards from data generated in systems such as Procore, Primavera P6, On Target, e-Builder, and Newforma, to name a few. We also integrate with any software that offers OpenAPIs. This integration ensures that you have a comprehensive view of your project’s status, allowing you to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
Our Dashboards Help You Make Decisions, Not Just View Lagging Data

6. Future AI Integration
We’re excited about the future of data integration. Our dashboards are designed with the potential for AI integration, providing deeper data insights and more intuitive outcomes. Imagine having predictive analytics that can forecast potential issues before they arise—now that’s game-changing!
Actionable Data Matters
Let’s take a moment to consider the real-world impact of actionable data. Imagine being able to identify a manpower shortage before it becomes a critical challenge that will be difficult to overcome, or spotting a delay in material procurement before it severely affects your schedule. These are the kinds of insights that can make the difference between a project that runs smoothly and one that faces significant delays and cost overruns.
