The Interior Fit-Out KPI Dashboard in Power BI scores 13 fit-out KPIs across 9 KPI groups on 4 report pages, each one against a monthly target with MTD and YTD achievement and a red, amber or green status light. It ships with 24 months of fictional sample actuals (January 2024 to December 2025) and 12 months of targets, so every visual works the moment you open the .pbix file in Power BI Desktop.
This listing belongs to the Power BI KPI Dashboard family: a month-picker KPI scorecard with traffic lights, a KPI Trend page and a KPI Definition page. It is not an analytical project dashboard with project-by-project drill-downs, and it is a separate build from our Interior Fit-Out KPI Dashboard in Google Sheets.

🔑 Key Features of This Fit-Out KPI Dashboard
🎯 13 KPIs written for fit-out contractors. Contract Revenue Billed, Gross Margin %, New Contract Awards, Fit-Out Cost per Sq Ft, Change Order Value %, Schedule Variance, Handover on Schedule %, RFI Response Turnaround, Subcontractor On-Time Completion %, Snag Items per 10,000 Sq Ft, Total Recordable Incident Rate, Days Sales Outstanding and Client Satisfaction Score.
↕️ Direction-aware scoring. Six KPIs are higher-is-better and seven are lower-is-better. Lower-is-better KPIs score Target divided by Actual, so finishing under the cost-per-square-foot or snag target scores above 100%. On Target means 100% or more, At Risk is 95% to 100%, and Missed is below 95%.
📅 Five slicers on the scorecard. Filter by Month, KPI Group, Owner, Priority and Direction. With December 2025 selected, the sample shows 7 KPIs on target, 3 at risk, 3 missed and 99.7% average MTD achievement.
📈 A 12-month trend on every row. A sparkline sits beside each KPI and inside the five header cards, and each card also shows the month-over-month change in its count, so a single month never hides the direction of travel.
🔁 Year-over-year that reads the right way. The YoY Arrow (MTD) flips its sign for lower-is-better KPIs, so an up-arrow always means better than the same month last year. In the sample, Snag Items per 10,000 Sq Ft fell from 39.44 to 37.99 and shows ▲ +3.7%.
🧾 Formula, definition, owner and priority for every KPI. They live in one Data.xlsx sheet. Rename, add or delete a KPI there, press Refresh, and the counts, scorecard, KPI list and charts follow, because nothing in the report is hard-coded to a KPI name.
📦 What’s Inside the Interior Fit-Out KPI Dashboard in Power BI
The report has four visible pages plus two hidden tooltip pages, KPI Detail and Trend Detail, which appear only when you hover over a visual. Every page reads from the same three sheets in Data.xlsx: KPI Definition, Input_ Target and Input_ Actual.
Page 1: KPI Scorecard
This page shows the Total KPIs, MTD Target Met, MTD At Risk, MTD Target Missed and Achievement MTD cards, each with a 12-month trend, above a scorecard of all 13 KPIs listing KPI Group, Unit, 12M Trend, Actual (MTD), Target (MTD), Achievement % (MTD), Status Light (MTD), YoY Arrow (MTD), Actual (YTD), Achievement % (YTD) and Status Light (YTD).
Page 2: KPI Trend
Choose one KPI from the list of 13 and the page shows its group, unit, direction, owner and priority, five value cards (KPI Actual, KPI Target, KPI Achievement % and KPI Status for MTD, plus KPI YoY %), and two charts: CY MTD vs PY MTD vs Target MTD by Month and CY YTD vs PY YTD vs Target YTD by Month.
Page 3: KPI Definition
A synced KPI selector drives the formula and plain-language definition cards, a KPI 12M Trend, a Monthly Detail table (Actual, Target, Achievement % and Status for MTD, Actual and Achievement % for YTD, with a Total row), and two charts: MTD Actual vs Target by Month and Achievement % by Month.

Short customisation notes (change the month, pick a KPI, swap in your own data, recolour through one theme) plus links to more Power BI templates and our custom-build services.

👥 Who This Template Is For and Who It’s Not For
✅ This template is built for:
- Interior fit-out and refurbishment contractors reporting monthly performance to directors
- Project directors and commercial managers running office, retail or hospitality fit-outs who already keep their numbers in spreadsheets
- Consultants and PMO analysts preparing a monthly KPI pack for a fit-out client
❌ This template is NOT for:
- Teams that need a scheduling, cost ledger or snag-logging system, because it scores monthly KPI values you enter rather than capturing site records
- Mac-only users without access to Windows, because Power BI Desktop runs on Windows
- Anyone who needs building-code, fire-rating, licensing or certification tracking, which this template does not provide
⚙️ How to Use This Power BI Fit-Out Template
- Download and unzip the file, keeping the .pbix and Data.xlsx in the same folder.
- Open the .pbix in Power BI Desktop, the free Windows app from Microsoft.
- In the KPI Definition sheet, keep one row per KPI and set Type to UTB (higher is better) or LTB (lower is better).
- Enter monthly MTD and YTD targets in Input_ Target, and actuals for the reporting year and the year before in Input_ Actual.
- Press Home > Refresh. If you moved Data.xlsx, use Transform data > Data source settings > Change Source first.
- Pick the month on KPI Scorecard, then open KPI Trend and KPI Definition for the KPIs flagged red or amber.
💼 Real-World Use Cases
A commercial director at an office fit-out contractor opens the scorecard on the first working day of the month, filters Priority to Critical, and walks the board through Gross Margin %, Change Order Value % and Total Recordable Incident Rate using the status lights rather than a stack of spreadsheets.
A project director running retail roll-outs selects Schedule Variance on the KPI Trend page to show that handovers are running later than target but earlier than the same months last year, then uses the Monthly Detail table to explain which months slipped.
A PMO analyst supporting a hospitality refurbishment programme replaces the sample rows with the client’s own figures, renames two KPIs to match the client’s contract language, refreshes, and delivers a branded monthly KPI pack in an afternoon.
⚠️ Good to Know Before You Buy
- YTD values are typed into Data.xlsx rather than calculated in DAX. Sum money for YTD, and average percentages, days, rates and index scores. The Read Me sheet explains this.
- The header cards’ MoM % compares KPI counts, so moving from 1 to 3 at-risk KPIs reads as +200%.
- All figures are fictional sample values labelled in USD. Replace them with your own.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What KPIs does this fit-out KPI dashboard track?
It tracks 13 KPIs in 9 groups: Financial, Commercial, Cost Control, Schedule, Design Coordination, Supply Chain, Quality, Safety and Client. They include Gross Margin %, Fit-Out Cost per Sq Ft, Change Order Value %, Handover on Schedule %, Snag Items per 10,000 Sq Ft and Client Satisfaction Score, each with a formula and definition.
Do I need a paid Power BI licence?
No. The Interior Fit-Out KPI Dashboard in Power BI opens and refreshes in Power BI Desktop, which is free from Microsoft for Windows. You only need a Power BI licence if you want to publish the report to the Power BI Service and share it online with colleagues.
How long does setup take?
Opening the sample takes under a minute. Loading your own figures depends on how many KPIs you keep: fill one definition row per KPI, then monthly target and actual rows for each, and press Refresh. No DAX or modelling changes are needed for that.
Can I add, rename or delete KPIs?
Yes. Every card, table and chart is driven by the rows in Data.xlsx. Change the KPI name in all three sheets, because the name is the join key, then refresh. Group, unit, formula, definition, owner and priority are free text you can edit.
How is this different from the Google Sheets version and the KPI Scorecard?
The Google Sheets KPI Dashboard is a separate build of the same topic for browser use. The Interior Fit-Out KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets belongs to a different template family with its own layout. Excel editions are in preparation.
How does it compare to a construction SaaS subscription?
A SaaS platform captures site data and handles collaboration, but charges every month. This template does one job, a monthly KPI scorecard against targets, for a one-time price, and your data stays in your own file.
