Construction cost overruns are not the exception. They are the norm.

• Research shows that the majority of construction projects exceed their budgets with some studies indicating up to 69 percent run over. In other cases only around 48 percent are completed within budget often by significant margins.

• In the UK alone reports show that 70 percent of infrastructure projects exceed their budgets with average overruns of around 18 percent.

These overruns do more than impact margins. They weaken client trust strain supplier relationships and increase administrative pressure across already stretched teams.

Despite these challenges the construction industry continues to lag behind other sectors when it comes to adopting digital solutions that support cost control and operational efficiency. Many businesses still rely on manual processes and disconnected systems resulting in siloed data poor visibility and misaligned stakeholders.

💡 This is where ONSO makes the difference

ONSO gives teams real time visibility over spend alongside centralised procurement and project tracking so construction leaders can stay in control. With ONSO teams can:

✔️ View committed and forecasted spend before invoices arrive
✔️ Reduce manual errors and unnecessary rework
✔️ Strengthen supplier collaboration and improve data accuracy

With the right tools in place you do not just plan your budget. You actively control it.

If budget certainty matters to your business it may be time to rethink how you manage data orders and spend with software designed to work for your teams.
