The "Data Silo" Problem
Field crews logging punch-list delays in a mobile app while superintendents sift through Excel spreadsheets for labor and material costs
Supply chain disruptions from overseas steel suppliers hitting without warning, leaving you blind to rebar or concrete inventory shortfalls on active job sites
Heavy equipment downtime from hydraulic failures eating into budgets, but no real-time alerts to reroute excavators or loaders to other concrete pours
Safety incidents like near-misses on scaffolding scattered across paper logs, delaying OSHA audits and MSHA compliance checks for mining-adjacent sites
Bidding wars for commercial builds based on outdated prevailing wage labor estimates, inflating project quotes for HVAC installations unnecessarily
Quality control issues like weld imperfections emerging late in steel fabrication, forcing costly rework on the shop floor during structural beam production
Our Custom KPI Tracking Platform – Built for the Real World
We've engineered solutions for 50+ engineering firms, turning chaotic data into field-tested insights that drive ROI.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, you're probably thinking your team's already stretched thin with deadlines and site visits. Here's the thing: our custom dashboards pull data from your Procore, ERP systems, and IoT sensors into one unified view. No more flying blind. We build it to handle everything from crane utilization to subcontractor performance, giving you actionable insights right on your tablet in the field. It's practical, scalable, and designed to grow with your projects – from small builds to multi-site operations.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Clear Visibility That Powers Your Decisions
Spot Project Risks Early
Spot Project Risks Early: Like having a foreman with x-ray vision, our dashboards flag variances in rebar material costs or overtime labor hours instantly, pulling from ERP systems. Engineering firms using this cut delays by 25% on high-rise projects, ensuring bids stay profitable even when steel tariffs spike unexpectedly by 15%.
Boost Resource Efficiency
Boost Resource Efficiency: Track heavy equipment uptime and crew productivity in real time via IoT sensors. No more guessing why a telehandler sat idle during foundation work – reroute it to the next slab pour and save thousands in rental fees. We've seen precast concrete manufacturing lines increase output by 18% just by visualizing these bottlenecks over a single quarter.
Strengthen Compliance and Safety
Strengthen Compliance and Safety: Centralize incident reports from mobile forms and audit trails for fall protection gear. When OSHA comes knocking, pull up dashboards showing zero-tolerance metrics across multi-site operations. One mid-sized contractor reduced violations by 40% after implementing our safety KPI views within six months, avoiding fines that could've hit six figures on scaffold inspections.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were chasing shadows on a $12M interstate bridge project – costs were creeping up due to unforeseen asphalt price hikes, but we couldn't pinpoint why. Their dashboard lit it up: subcontractor delays in formwork were the culprit. We fixed it in two weeks by reallocating crews, finished on time under DOT specs, and saved $450K. It's like having an extra PM on site monitoring RFIs in real time."
Mike Reynolds
Senior Project Engineer, Apex Construction
"Our structural steel fabrication shop was drowning in Excel sheets for weld quality checks during beam assembly. After the KPI platform went live with integration to our CAD software, defect rates dropped from 8% to under 2% in three months. The real-time alerts caught porosity issues before they hit the assembly line – game-changer for our lean manufacturing margins on high-volume orders."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, ForgeTech Manufacturing
"Scaling from 5 to 15 commercial sites meant data overload from disparate Procore and ERP systems. AIQ's custom setup integrates our field sensors with SAP for inventory tracking, giving us visibility into HVAC component stock that prevented a major stockout during peak Q3 construction season. ROI was immediate – paid for itself in the first project cycle by avoiding $200K in expedited shipping."

Simple 3-Step Process
Discovery and Mapping
We dive into your workflows, identifying key KPIs like schedule variance and cost performance from your engineering tools. This ensures the dashboard fits your daily grind, from site inspections to shop floor metrics.
Custom Build and Integration
Our team codes a tailored platform, linking your data sources securely. Test it with real project data to confirm it handles the chaos of construction timelines and manufacturing runs without a hitch.
Deployment and Training
Roll it out across your teams with hands-on sessions. We monitor the first few weeks, tweaking for peak performance so your foremen and engineers get insights that stick.
Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this integrate with our existing project management software like Procore?
We start by mapping your current setup – Procore's APIs are a breeze for us. Our custom platform pulls in data like daily logs, RFIs, and progress photos without disrupting your workflows. It's a two-way street: updates from the dashboard can even push back to Procore. For a recent engineering client, we synced it in under two weeks, eliminating duplicate entries and giving their PMs a single pane of glass. No more toggling between apps on site. And since we build it custom, it scales if you add tools like Autodesk BIM later. You're in control, not chained to one vendor's ecosystem.
What specific KPIs can we track for construction projects?
Tailored to your needs, but think core engineering metrics: SPI for schedule health, CPI for cost control, earned value tracking to predict overruns. We also handle field-specific ones like percent complete versus planned, subcontractor performance scores, and weather impact delays. For manufacturing arms, add defect rates and throughput efficiency. One firm we worked with tracked crane utilization KPIs, spotting idle time that saved $20K monthly. It's all visualized in real-time charts, with drill-downs for root causes. We configure it during discovery to match your bid docs and contracts – practical, no fluff.
Is the platform secure for sensitive engineering data?
Absolutely – we treat your bid strategies and site plans like gold. Built on enterprise-grade security with SOC 2 compliance, end-to-end encryption, and role-based access so only authorized eyes see financials or IP. For construction, that means field techs view schedules but not full budgets. We've hardened it against site realities like variable connectivity, using offline syncing. A manufacturing partner shared how our setup passed their ISO audit flawlessly, preventing any data leaks during a high-profile fabrication project. Peace of mind, backed by our own secure platforms.
How long does it take to see ROI from this KPI platform?
Quick wins hit fast – most clients see 20-30% efficiency gains in the first quarter. Take reduced reporting time: Instead of hours compiling Excel for weekly meetings, pull live dashboards in minutes. For an engineering firm we built for, ROI came in month two when they avoided a $150K delay penalty by catching a supply snag early. Long-term, it's about scaling: As projects multiply, the unified data prevents silos that cost bigger. We measure it with your KPIs from day one, adjusting to ensure payback aligns with your cash flow cycles. Honest talk: If it's not delivering, we refine it.
Can it handle growth if our firm expands to more sites?
Designed for it – no caps on users or data volume. Our architecture uses modular scaling, so adding sites or projects just means more dashboards, not rebuilds. We've taken firms from 3 to 20 locations without downtime, integrating new sensors or ERPs on the fly. For construction, that means tracking KPIs across regions, like comparing labor costs in Texas versus California. A client scaled during a merger, handling 5x the data load seamlessly. It's built to grow with you, from SMB engineering shops to enterprise-level ops, keeping costs predictable.
What's the difference between your custom dashboards and off-the-shelf tools?
Off-the-shelf like Tableau is great for basics, but it's generic – not tuned for engineering quirks like ASCE compliance or punch list workflows. We code yours from the ground up, owning the integrations deeply so nothing breaks during a site audit rush. No subscription bloat; you own it outright. Firms switching to us ditched juggling three tools, cutting costs by 40% while gaining custom alerts for things like variance thresholds. It's like custom rebar versus stock – fits your blueprint perfectly, withstands the load.
