EPC Construction Project Management Platform

Our client, a major engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor, was managing complex multi-million dollar energy infrastructure projects using spreadsheets and disparate tools. Weekly project reports required manual data aggregation from multiple sources, taking 4-6 hours per week to compile. This fragmented approach created:

• Inconsistent reporting formats across project managers
• Delayed visibility into critical project performance indicators
• No real-time tracking of Earned Value Management (EVM) metrics
• Limited ability to analyze cash flow health and identify financial risks early
• Difficulty demonstrating compliance with Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) standards
• Manual PDF generation that was time-consuming and error-prone

The client needed a centralized solution that would standardize weekly reporting, automate calculations, and provide instant visibility into project health across multiple dimensions.

We designed a modern web application architecture that prioritizes data integrity, automated analytics, and export capabilities. Our strategy included:

Data Architecture: We implemented a structured relational database using Supabase to manage projects and weekly reports, with normalized schemas supporting complex nested data for EVM, HSE, quality control, cash flow, and milestone tracking.

Calculation Engine: We developed specialized calculation modules for:

• Earned Value Management metrics (SPI, CPI, EAC, VAC)
• Cash flow performance with 8 distinct KPIs (billing coverage ratio, cash collection ratio, cash adequacy ratio, cash burn rate)
• Schedule variance tracking across engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning phases
• HSE statistics including TRIR calculations and leading/lagging indicators

Authentication & Security: We integrated NextAuth with Supabase for secure role-based access control, ensuring project data remained confidential and accessible only to authorized personnel.

Export System: We built a custom PDF generation engine using jsPDF with support for embedded charts, tables, progress bars, and formatted statistical displays, ensuring reports meet professional standards for client submission.

We delivered a full-stack Next.js web application that centralizes EPC project monitoring and reporting. The platform enables project managers to:

Weekly Report Management: Create, edit, and track weekly progress reports with structured data entry forms covering all critical project dimensions. Each report captures week number, reporting period, approval workflow status, and comprehensive project metrics.

Earned Value Analytics: Automatically calculate and visualize EVM metrics including Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP), Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP), Schedule Performance Index (SPI), Cost Performance Index (CPI), and three types of Estimate at Completion (EAC) calculations.

Cash Flow Monitoring: Track financial health through automated calculation of eight cash flow KPIs with color-coded status indicators (green/yellow/red). The system monitors billing lag, cash gap, and provides overall financial health scores that alert managers to potential liquidity issues.

HSE Tracking: Record and trend both leading indicators (near misses, safety observations, inspections, training hours) and lagging indicators (fatalities, lost time injuries, medical treatment cases) alongside manpower hours and Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) calculations.

Quality Control: Monitor Approved For Installation (AFI) status, Non-Conformance Reports (NCR), punch lists, welding rejection rates, and certification progress across multiple engineering disciplines (process, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, civil).

S-Curve & Milestone Tracking: Visualize planned vs. actual progress curves and manage schedule/payment milestones with status tracking (On Track, At Risk, Delayed, Critical, Completed).

Professional PDF Export: Generate print-ready weekly reports with embedded charts, formatted tables, and branded layouts suitable for submission to project owners and stakeholders.
