The full story

On a €8M office complex in Amsterdam, the project manager was three months in when the platform flagged a deviation: electrical works were tracking 12% over budget. It wasn't a crisis yet — but it would have been by month six. With full line-item budget visibility, the PM identified the cause (scope creep on data cabling not reflected in the original estimate), renegotiated with the electrical subcontractor, and adjusted the remaining scope. The project closed within 4% of budget.
