Construction
Unnecessary project costs, schedules that keep slipping, and different truths in the cost model and on the construction site: in construction, things often go wrong because of scattered information. Bring that data together into one AI-ready data foundation, and your projects become more predictable.
Challenges in construction
An average construction project relies on all kinds of separate systems: an ERP such as Exact (Bouw), 4PS Construct, Acto, Metacom, or Piramidesoftware for finance and project administration, planning software, a BIM model, calculations in Excel, and document management on a shared drive. Useful at first, but it results in silos. You feel that every day:
- The same data is entered twice and reports contradict each other, so no one is sure which version is actually correct.
- Errors from incorrect or outdated data translate directly into unnecessary costs, rework, and lost margin.
- You steer afterward, on a snapshot from last month, instead of adjusting while the project is running.
- Many of these source systems offer limited reporting options on their own. Construction companies therefore manually download data to Excel to build project dashboards, sometimes dozens per month, which costs a lot of time and is error-prone.
- With the Building Quality Assurance Act (Wkb), you must record your process demonstrably and in a structured way, and scattered data makes that difficult.
The challenge, therefore, is not "more software" but gaining control: one AI-ready data foundation that everyone draws from, from estimator to site supervisor.
What we do for construction
We bring the data from your existing systems together into one AI-ready data foundation and build the layer on top that genuinely makes the work easier. This way, your organization shifts from explaining afterward to adjusting beforehand:
AI-ready data platform
Your project data from ERP (such as Exact or Exact Bouw), planning, BIM, and calculations comes together in one up-to-date, well-managed data foundation, with traceable data that matches the demonstrability the Wkb requires from you.
Dashboards and reports
With the Qlik Sense Projects Dashboard, you bring data sources such as Exact AEC or 4PS Construct together into one overview of budget, costs, and safety. Working with Exact Bouw? Our Power BI Service turns that data directly into dashboards.
Data-driven work
We start with a clear approach: which challenge do you tackle first, which data sources are leading, and what is the route to an organization that steers by data instead of gut feeling and assumptions.
App development & AI solutions
Custom applications that we develop quickly with low-code, such as an app for quality assurance on the construction site. Based on previous projects, we identify risks and delays early, so you can adjust in time.

FAQ
Where do you start if you want to work data-driven in construction?
With the foundation. First we make sure your project data is reliable and comes from one source, then we build the dashboards, analyses, and apps on top of it. Starting with one concrete question, for example unnecessary costs or progress per project, works best.
We work with Exact or Exact Bouw — can you pull reports from that?
Yes. We unlock data from Exact and Exact Bouw and turn it into dashboards in Power BI, so you no longer have to export manually to Excel. This gives you up-to-date insight into project progress, costs, and resource management.
Do you also offer a ready-made dashboard for project progress?
Yes, with the Qlik Sense Projects Dashboard you bring budget, costs, suppliers, safety inspections, and staff deployment from all your projects together in one dynamic overview, without starting from scratch.
