The "Data Blindspot" Problem
Field reports from concrete pours and steel deliveries lost in email chains, causing on-site delays and rework on critical path items
ERP systems not syncing with CNC machine and welding station data, leading to inventory overstock of raw materials like rebar and sheet metal
No real-time view of subcontractor performance on framing or HVAC installations, inflating project costs through untracked change orders
Manual KPI tracking across Procore, AutoCAD, and Excel for metrics like cycle times and defect rates, eating hours from your fabrication engineers
Siloed safety data from job sites and fabrication shops, risking OSHA compliance fines and downtime from scaffold or crane incidents
Delayed insights on equipment utilization for excavators and milling machines, shortening asset life during high-volume manufacturing runs
Our Custom-Built Dashboards: Tailored for Your Engineering Workflow
We've helped over 50 construction and manufacturing firms replace chaotic tools with unified systems that deliver field-tested results
Why Choose Us
Here's the thing: off-the-shelf dashboards treat every business like a cookie-cutter template. Not us. At AIQ Labs, we engineer yours from the ground up, pulling in data from your Procore, Autodesk, or legacy ERP without brittle integrations. Imagine a dashboard that mirrors your exact project lifecycle—from bid analysis to punch list closure. We build it to track KPIs like burn rates and yield efficiencies, giving you actionable insights that feel like an extension of your team. No more flying blind; you're equipped with a single pane of glass for your entire operation.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Informed Decisions That Drive Your Bottom Line
Real-Time Project Oversight
Real-Time Project Oversight: See overruns the moment they happen, like tracking concrete pours against BIM schedules to avoid costly reworks—our clients in bridge construction saved up to 15% on material waste while keeping timelines ironclad, often finishing phases 10-20% ahead.
Optimized Resource Allocation
Optimized Resource Allocation: Visualize crew and machine availability across job sites and fab shops. No more idle welders or idle forklifts waiting on steel deliveries—dashboards flag bottlenecks early, boosting utilization by 30% and trimming overtime expenses by reallocating crews within 24 hours of alerts.
Actionable Safety and Compliance Insights
Actionable Safety and Compliance Insights: Monitor incident reports, near-misses, and PPE compliance in real-time across multiple sites. Engineering firms using our system reduced OSHA audit prep time by 40 hours per quarter and cut lost-time incidents by 25%, turning potential fines into preventive wins with automated alerts.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were chasing shadows on our interstate bridge project—delays from unknown supplier issues with precast beams cost us two weeks and $150K in extensions. Now, everything syncs live from the field via mobile apps, and we finished under budget by 8% last quarter. It's like having a co-pilot in the cab keeping us on schedule."
Mike Harlan
Senior Project Engineer, BuildTech Constructors
"Our steel fabrication line was plagued by siloed data from ERP and shop floor sensors; we'd overproduce I-beams based on outdated forecasts, tying up $200K in excess inventory. After implementing their custom setup integrated with our CAD systems, inventory errors dropped 22% within three months, and we're hitting production targets consistently. Solid work from a team that gets the shop floor grind."
Sarah Ruiz
Operations Manager, ForgeWorks Manufacturing
"Juggling subcontractor bids for plumbing and electrical rough-ins was a nightmare until this dashboard pulled RFIs and delivery logs all together. We spotted a 12% markup on copper piping deliveries early and renegotiated—saved $45K on one commercial build alone, closing out the job two days ahead. Practical, no-fluff solution that fits our workflow."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your custom dashboards integrate with our existing construction software?
We start by auditing your stack—think Procore for project management or SAP for ERP—and build two-way API integrations that pull data without manual uploads. For example, on a recent highway project, we synced Autodesk Revit models with field updates in under a week, giving live progress visuals. It's not plug-and-play; we code it to handle your specific workflows, like custom RFI tracking, ensuring no data lags. This cuts reconciliation time by hours weekly, letting your team focus on builds, not busywork. We've done this for firms handling everything from residential framing to heavy industrial installs, always prioritizing security and uptime.
What makes these dashboards different from off-the-shelf options like Tableau?
Off-the-shelf tools are great for basics but force you into their molds, ignoring nuances like your multi-site permitting delays or variable shop floor shifts. We custom-build for your exact needs—say, a dashboard that overlays weather data on crane schedules to predict downtime. No templates here; it's engineered for engineering firms, with features like predictive analytics for steel pricing fluctuations. One client, a mid-size fabricator, switched from Tableau and saw query times drop from minutes to seconds, directly tying into faster production decisions. You're getting a tool owned by you, scalable without extra fees, built by folks who've managed real fab shop chaos.
How long does it take to see ROI from a custom dashboard?
Typically, clients see payback in 3-6 months through efficiency gains. Take a structural engineering firm we worked with: They reduced project status meetings from 4 hours to 45 minutes weekly by having dashboards auto-generate reports on beam tolerances and load tests. That's 150+ hours saved annually, plus spotting a 10% cost overrun early enough to renegotiate with vendors. We focus on quick wins like real-time inventory for just-in-time manufacturing, but factor in your scale—smaller outfits might hit ROI faster on simple KPI views, while larger ones leverage deeper analytics for bid accuracy. It's practical: We tie every feature to your dollars saved on overruns or idle time.
Can these dashboards handle data from multiple job sites or plants?
Absolutely, we design for distributed operations. For a manufacturing client with three plants, we created a master dashboard aggregating throughput from each line, flagging discrepancies in weld quality across locations instantly. It pulls from IoT sensors on machines and GPS from construction sites, all in one view. No more piecing together reports from different regions—engineers get a unified picture, like comparing rebar usage site-to-site to optimize deliveries. Security is baked in with granular permissions, so plant managers see their data without exposing others. We've scaled this for firms managing 20+ active builds, ensuring it runs smooth even with terabytes of historical data.
What if our team isn't tech-savvy—will they be able to use it?
We make it intuitive, like checking a blueprint. Training is hands-on, tailored to roles: Foremen learn swipeable mobile views for daily logs, while PMs get drill-down analytics for variance reports. On a recent retrofit project, non-tech crew members were pulling safety metrics in under 10 minutes post-training. We avoid jargon-heavy interfaces, using familiar icons—like a hardhat for incident alerts—and include tooltips with examples from your workflows. Ongoing support ensures tweaks as needs change, say adding a widget for new EPA regs. It's built for the field, not just the office, so your team adopts it fast without frustration.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for the dashboards?
Yes, we provide flexible support packages to keep things humming. After launch, our team monitors performance and handles updates—like integrating new CAD versions or adjusting for seasonal labor shifts. A civil engineering client relied on us for quarterly reviews, which caught a data sync issue early, preventing a week of downtime during peak season. You own the code, so you're not locked in, but our maintenance ensures scalability as you add sites or KPIs. Costs are transparent, often 10-15% of build fees annually, delivering peace of mind without the hassle of in-house upkeep. Think of us as your extended engineering crew for the digital side.
