DHARAMetrics – Construction Cost & Carbon Intelligence

DHARAMetrics is a Microsoft Fabric–native construction intelligence platform that helps owners, developers, and consultants make faster, more informed cost and carbon decisions using their own project data.

Construction organizations often sit on years of valuable cost, design, and carbon information that is fragmented across systems and formats. DHARAMetrics ingests this construction data through Microsoft Dataverse, then cleans, normalizes, and enriches it in Microsoft Fabric using pipelines and Spark notebooks.

DHARAMetrics includes an AI-powered natural language interface delivered via BI Genius and Microsoft Foundry, allowing users to ask questions in plain language and receive answers grounded in their verified, governed data - not generic public datasets.

Key capabilities include:

Real-time cost benchmarking against historical projects

Cost and carbon scenario analysis

Live price book intelligence normalized to today’s dollars

Design metrics and early-stage feasibility insights

The DHARAMetrics web portal and embedded Power BI reports are hosted on Azure App Service, with authentication, authorization, and governance enforced end-to-end using Microsoft Entra ID.

DHARAMetrics is built by industry professionals with decades of hands-on construction cost consulting experience, combining domain expertise with AI to deliver practical, defensible insights that reflect how projects are actually delivered.
