The Disconnected Reality
One Platform. One Data Foundation. Better Decisions.
Construction data is often spread across Vista ERP, project systems, spreadsheets, and departmental tools. Microsoft Fabric brings that information into one governed environment, creating a reliable foundation for reporting and analytics.
WHY MICROSOFT FABRIC
Fabric connects data pipelines, OneLake storage, governed models, and Power BI in one environment - reducing manual work and creating greater confidence in commercial reporting.

POWER BI REPORTING
Built around construction and commercial data
BUILT FOR CONSTRUCTION
Construction businesses manage high volumes of project, financial, and operational data across Vista ERP, project platforms, spreadsheets, and site systems. Bluestone designs Microsoft Fabric solutions around the commercial information your teams rely on.
THE CHALLENGE:
Actual costs, commitments, progress, and forecasts often sit in different systems, making WIP reporting slow and difficult to reconcile.
WIP & Cost-to-Complete
Fabric & BlueStone Solution:
Fabric pipelines bring these records together in governed models, providing a clearer view of project performance and expected margin.
THE CHALLENGE:
Purchase orders, subcontract commitments, invoices, and labor costs are difficult to compare when they are held across disconnected systems.
Job Costing & Committed Spend
Fabric & BlueStone Solution:
Standardized cost codes and connected datasets provide dependable visibility into current spend, commitments, and exposure against budget.
THE CHALLENGE:
Cost movement, change orders, and forecast adjustments may only become visible after they have already placed pressure on project margins.
Margin & Variation Visibility
Fabric & BlueStone Solution:
Governed reporting brings commercial movements together so teams can identify potential margin pressure and investigate changes earlier.
THE CHALLENGE:
Leadership reporting can take days to prepare when project, commercial, and financial figures must be reconciled manually.
Cash Flow & Executive Reporting
Fabric & BlueStone Solution:
Power BI dashboards provide a dependable view of cash position, project trends, operational performance, and key commercial measures.
