Monthly Progress Report Agent
The Monthly Progress Report Agent compiles your client or funder progress report from the sources you already keep: minutes, the programme, the cost report, site photos, safety statistics and quality records. It drafts a consistent report covering progress against programme, cost, health and safety, quality, risks and key decisions, so the monthly report no longer depends on one person chasing inputs.
Ideal forProject managers
The difference
From 1-2 days per report to 2-3 hours
Project managers spend their time on the issues the report raises, not on formatting and chasing figures.

Indicative figures. We measure your own baseline in the first fortnight so the numbers you see are yours.
No more chasing inputs
Progress reports stall while someone collects the programme update, cost figures and safety stats. The agent pulls them together from the source systems each month.
Consistent reporting funders expect
Developers, DFIs and lenders want the same structure every month. A consistent report makes trends in progress, cost and risk easy to follow and supports drawdown approvals.
Grounded in your records
Every statement traces back to minutes, the programme or the cost report, so the narrative reflects the real position on site rather than optimism.
Capabilities
The monthly progress report assembled from your records, ready for review in hours.
Built for project managers, principal agents and development managers at South African contractors, developers and consultants reporting to clients, boards, DFIs and funders.
Multi-source assembly
Draws from minutes, the action register, programme updates, the cost report, photos, safety and quality records into one structured report.
Programme progress
Summarises progress against baseline, critical path movements and forecast completion from Primavera P6 or MS Project updates.
Cost and cash flow summary
Carries the headline budget, forecast final cost, variations and cash flow position from the monthly cost report.
Health, safety and quality
Reports incidents, lost-time injuries, inspections and non-conformances from your safety and quality registers, in line with Construction Regulations 2014 reporting practice.
Risks and decisions
Lists key risks, early warnings, pending decisions and actions required from the client, drawn from the minutes and risk register.
Photo progress record
Selects and captions site photos by area and date to evidence progress for the reporting period.
How it works
From your systems to a result you sign off
The project manager reviews the narrative and figures and approves the report before it is issued to the client or funder.
Connect the places your project reports already live.
Minutes and registers in SharePoint, programme files from Primavera P6 or MS Project, the cost report, site photos, and safety and quality records from Procore or Aconex. Already use something else? We connect that too.

Deployment
Runs inside the tools your team already uses
The same agent and the same cited output, delivered three ways: through the AI assistant you have rolled out, on a model you host yourself, or inside your own software.
In the frontier assistant you already pay for
We publish the agent as an MCP server. Add it as a connector and your team calls it from the chat they use every day, with no new tool to learn.

On a model you host yourself
Run the agent on open-weight models in your data centre or private cloud. Your project reports never leave your network, which keeps POPIA and data residency straightforward.
- Llama
- Mistral
- Ollama
- or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Inside your own software
Trigger a run from your own workflows, and push the finished output into your ERP, GRC or reporting systems. We build the integration with your team.
- REST API
- Webhooks
- Batch jobs
- Embeddable review panel
Governed the same way, every route
Whichever way your team reaches the agent, identity, permissions and audit stay with your existing controls.
- Single sign-on through Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace
- Reads only the documents each user is already allowed to open
- Every tool call written to an audit log you can export
How we deliver it
One agent, three ways to hold it
Start where your team already works, then take it as far into your systems as the value justifies.
DATA SECURITY & PRIVACY
Your project reports stay yours.
The agent runs inside your tenancy, reads only what each task needs, and never trains on your project reports. Every step is logged so your auditors can see exactly what it touched.
Built for regulated work.
+YOUR PROJECT REPORTS NEVER LEAVE YOUR ENVIRONMENT
