Production & job cost · Charlotte · Raleigh · Upstate SC
You're hiring an IT BI Developer to turn job-costing and scheduling data into decisions your construction directors and area managers can act on. Here is the kind of report that role would own, built the way our team would build it.
Pick a market, a builder, a quarter or a division below and every number on the page recalculates.
Public facts used: PBI was founded in 1977 by Bob Price, is led by CEO Matthew Price, and reported 380+ employees in a 2022 company press release. Role title and salary range are from PBI's IT BI Developer job posting. Every operating figure on this page is invented for illustration.
One report page for the weekly production meeting: how many houses closed out, what they earned, what came back, and where homes are stacking up in the pipe.
Homes in progress at the end of Q3, by phase. Line weight shows volume; the valve marks the phase running furthest over its standard.
Margin after labor, material and field costs. Tick marks the target for that builder's work mix.
Warranty and service callbacks by recorded reason.
Homes completed per crew per week, by market and quarter.
The same filters, as a table your area managers can scan.
Each read pairs what is working with where the next hour of attention should go. Figures below cover every market, builder and division for Q1–Q3.
Illustrative sample data. Built by BICS to show the approach; not Price Brothers, Inc. figures.
A report like this becomes part of how the week runs, so it can't depend on one person being in the office. We put a lead developer on the build, a project manager who also develops in Power BI and knows the model as well as the lead does, and principal oversight from me. If someone is on vacation or out sick, the work keeps moving.
Power BI is what we'd deliver. If some field leads don't carry Power BI licenses, the same views can also be published as a light custom web page.

The posting lists $85,000–$110,000 a year for an in-office IT BI Developer in Charlotte. That is a sound hire. Many of our clients make that hire and bring us in alongside: we stand up the model and the first reports, and their analyst owns them day to day with a team behind them.
We would scope the work with you before anything starts, and it can shrink as your own hire takes more on.
Thirty minutes is enough to see which of these views would matter most to your directors of construction and area managers, and what it would take to build them on your own job-costing and scheduling data.
