Construction Project Reporting Made Simple

A key part of every Construction Managers’ job is analyzing reports to determine project health. Timely and accurate reporting not only keeps stakeholders informed, but is critical to ensuring the success of increasingly complex mega projects and programs.

Lydon Solutions knows that it’s important for Construction Managers to quickly and easily provide the right information to management and project team members. This is why we integrate robust reporting functions into our Construction Program Management Portal using the inherent power of Microsoft SharePoint. Our Portal makes it simple to create, customize and share reports as needed. We provide visual tools such as dashboards that enable stakeholders to understand a project’s status at a glance – with more detailed information only a click away.

Example reporting tools in the Lydon Solutions Construction Program Management Portal:

Data Driven Dashboards:

Lydon Solutions puts critical project data in dashboards integrated into team homepages so that each group has everything they need in one place to easily determine project health. Data for these dashboards can be linked to Microsoft SharePoint lists and forms, pulled from external data or be manually entered. Information can be presented as standard charts (pie, line, bar, X/Y, heat maps, bubble charts, etc.) with drill down capability.

Scorecards:

Raw data can be overwhelming to consume. That’s why we use visual indicators such as traffic lights, custom icons, and color coding to represent the status of an item in lists or libraries of data. We also use scorecards on form libraries to provide an approval status of a record. Rules can be easily setup to determine which conditions drive the scorecard.

Microsoft Excel Services:

Everybody loves using Excel to manage day-to-day operations on a program.  The Lydon Solutions Construction Program Management Portal allows you to quickly web enable your existing Excel reports/dashboards so that the entire project team can have access to them.  Users can interact with your Excel files directly on the Portal using pivot tables, slicers and data selection, reporting and file downloads.

Microsoft SharePoint Reporting Service:

SQL Reporting Services allow developers to build standard reports with charts, maps, dashboards, and log information. Data can be filtered with user parameters and exported to PDF, Word, and Excel. Users can also subscribe to reports that can be automatically scheduled.

Reporting is situation dependent and having the right information at the right time is critical.  With the Lydon Solutions Construction Program Management Portal, all your reporting tools are at your fingertips.  Contact us to learn how we can help you simplify reporting for all your construction projects.
