Frequently Asked Questions

What is Power BI and how does it help construction companies?

Power BI is Microsoft's business intelligence platform. For construction, it connects to Procore, Sage, Viewpoint, and other project systems to produce real-time dashboards covering project costs, schedules, safety, and equipment — all in one place instead of spreadsheet reports.

How much does Power BI consulting cost for construction?

Construction Power BI projects typically run $25,000–$150,000. Simple single-source dashboards start lower. Multi-source integrations (Procore + Sage + equipment telematics) with custom DAX models run higher. EPC Group provides fixed-fee quotes after a discovery call.

How long does a Power BI construction implementation take?

Most construction Power BI implementations take 8–16 weeks from kickoff to go-live. Simple single-source dashboards can complete in 4–6 weeks. Complex multi-source integrations with ERP connectivity typically run 12–16 weeks.

Can Power BI connect to Procore?

Yes. EPC Group connects Power BI to Procore via the Procore API and the Power BI Procore connector. We extract project cost, schedule, RFI, submittals, safety, and punchlist data for unified dashboards.

Does EPC Group support OSHA compliance dashboards?

Yes. OSHA compliance dashboards are a standard deliverable for general contractor clients. We track TRIR, DART rates, near-miss reports, safety inspection results, and recordable incident trends by project and company.
