Construction
Know Which Jobs Are Making Money, Now
Allston Yale builds construction analytics for mid-market contractors and construction managers in Texas and across the USA. We help lean back-office and IT teams turn job cost, schedule, and field data into one clear view they can act on.
01
You Find Out a Job Lost Money Too Late
In construction the bad news usually arrives after the job is done. Cost data lags weeks behind the field, change orders pile up unbilled, and margin erodes where nobody is looking. We connect the data so a job going sideways shows up while you can still steer it.
02
What Construction Analytics Covers
Construction data analytics runs from the field to the ledger. It tracks job cost and cost-to-complete, margin and work in progress, schedule against plan, change orders and their billing, and the labor and safety numbers behind every project.
Most contractors start with one painful blind spot. Often that is cost-to-complete nobody trusts or margin that only becomes clear at closeout, and we build out from a number your project managers and finance team both live by.
03
Built for Lean Construction IT Teams
A mid-market contractor rarely has a data team; it has project managers in the field and a stretched back office. We build data analytics for construction that a small team can maintain, so job visibility does not depend on one person’s end-of-month spreadsheet.
04
From Procore, Autodesk, and Accounting to Dashboards People Trust
Your data is split between the field and the office. Project management lives in Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud, while cost lives in Sage, Viewpoint, or CMiC. We join them, so a construction dashboard in Power BI finally shows cost and progress side by side.
Connecting Power BI to Autodesk Construction Cloud and your accounting system is where the real picture appears. Power BI for construction puts one trusted view of every job in front of project managers and leadership, instead of two systems that never quite agree.
05
Seeing a Job Go Sideways Before It Does
The forward look is where the money is saved. Predictive analytics in construction reads the trend in costs and progress to flag a job heading over budget or behind schedule early, so you act on a forecast instead of reacting to a closeout surprise.
06
Built on Power BI and Microsoft Fabric
We build construction analytics on Microsoft Power BI for the dashboards and Microsoft Fabric for the data platform underneath. For the reporting craft see our Power BI consultant page, and for the platform see our Microsoft Fabric consulting page.
Most contractors start with Power BI done well on job cost and margin, then grow into Fabric as more projects and sources come into play. We help you separate a real platform need from an upgrade that can wait.
What working with Us Looks like
Plenty of analytics firms will hand a contractor a generic dashboard and leave. We learn how your jobs actually make and lose money first, build to that, and document everything so your team keeps control long after we step back.

Common Questions
Can you connect Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud to our accounting?
Yes. That join is the core of what we do here. We pull project data from Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud and cost data from systems like Sage, Viewpoint, or CMiC, then reconcile them so cost and progress finally sit in one place.
Can we see job cost without waiting for month-end?
Often, yes. Once the systems are connected, cost-to-complete and margin can update on a regular schedule rather than waiting for the closeout, so project managers catch a slipping job while there is still time to respond.
Can analytics flag a job heading over budget?
It can. The same data that drives your reporting can power simple forecasts that flag jobs trending over budget or behind schedule, so your team works from a ranked watch list instead of finding out at handover. We start simple and build from there.
How long until we see something useful?
A first dashboard on a priority area, job cost, margin, or cost-to-complete, usually lands in weeks. We get one trustworthy view in front of your team early rather than waiting to model every project, then build out from there.
