construction project analytics UK cost forecasting dashboards

Build with certainty: AI cost and timeline dashboards

Every day a project runs late costs more than money. Why guess at the true cost position when estimating, procurement and site data can warn you early? Harris Vision gives UK construction teams a live view of budget pressure, delivery risk and the decisions that matter before the site starts slipping.

Case study

BuildRight completed four projects under budget

They used the dashboard to renegotiate supplier contracts mid-project and bought steel forward when price pressure became visible. Simple move. Big impact.

Director quote

“We saw the steel price rise coming and bought forward. The dashboard paid for itself before the first handover.”

Construction analytics FAQ

Straight answers for busy teams

Still weighing up the change? Fair enough. Here are the questions we hear most often from UK contractors and SME builders.

Can it handle multi-phase projects?

Yes. We support parent-child hierarchies, so each phase can roll up into the main programme while still showing its own budget and delivery risks.

Do you support JCT and NEC reporting?

We do. Reports can be tailored to your contract structure, so commercial teams can present updates in the format clients expect.

How long does setup take?

Usually one to two weeks for data integration. If the source files are a bit untidy, we'll help sort the structure without dragging the process out.
