Building a Better Finance Function

How construction companies can move from spreadsheet chaos to profitable growth

The construction business is booming, but finance teams are still buried in spreadsheets — and the cost shows up everywhere. Multi-million-dollar jobs get tracked across hundreds of thousands of cells, where adjusting one line means re-forecasting the whole thing.

This infographic breaks down where construction finance loses time and accuracy, and how a financial performance platform helps teams predict, forecast, and grow.

  • On the ground — a skilled labor shortage, unpredictable material costs, and rising safety regulations make every job harder to cost and manage.
  • In the budget — 70%+ of finance professionals still budget in Excel, and nearly 40% need 90+ days to finish. One construction leader emailed 250+ Excel files back and forth before finding a scalable solution.
  • In the reporting — over 50% build WIP schedules in Excel, each taking 2–5 days a month to prepare.

Multi-million-dollar jobs can't run on spreadsheets that break the moment one number changes. See how Prophix replaces the sprawl with real-time data and automated forecasting.
