Costs assigned to the project
Spending gathered at month-end is hard to tie to specific work.
You look at costs in the context of the site they relate to.
WHY IT MATTERS
A project's result only becomes visible once you know its costs.
The value of a contract alone doesn't show what labour, materials and equipment cost. Record expenses against the project to notice deviations from the plan sooner.
PROBLEMSOLUTIONRESULT
Progress and spending side by side
A low cost does not mean a saving if work stands still or the scope is not delivered.
You assess spending together with progress and project scope.A faster response to deviations
A late summary leaves no time to change the plan or talk about scope.
Up-to-date records help you spot rising costs earlier.
USE IN YOUR COMPANY
For owners and managers responsible for the result of a project.
The costs of materials, labour, equipment and payments make sense when they can be tied to the scope and progress of a specific site.
Do you know where the gap between plan and cost comes from?
Spending recorded in separate spreadsheets is hard to assess in time. When the summary is only produced after a stage ends, there is less room to react.
WHAT THE SYSTEM CHANGES
- 01Costs assigned to the project and its category.
- 02A comparison of spending with the scope and progress of the work.
- 03Earlier warning of rising costs.
HOW THE MODULE WORKS IN PRACTICE
The cost goes to the site it relates to.
Example: on a single project you buy materials, settle labour and accept a subcontractor's invoice. Sites gathers these items in the cost register and links them to the site.
DATAWORKDECISION
-
01
Select a site and category
Assign each cost to a project and a category. You can add the amount, supplier, date, document number and description.
-
02
Record or check an entry
A cost can enter the register from a form or from a related process, such as working time or stock management. Entries that need checking go through approval.
-
03
Compare cost with revenue
The profitability report sets revenue against approved costs. You can check the result of a single project and break costs down by category.
-
04
Act before the work is closed
When a category or site departs from the assumptions, you know what the difference relates to and can check it with the person in charge.
REAL VIEW / COSTS AND RESULT
Revenue, costs and margin visible together.
The summary helps you check which items make up a project's result and which cost categories affect it most.
SAMPLE BUDGET
A site for PLN 3,000, broken down into costs.
REVENUECOSTSRESULT
Materials PLN 1,240
Teamwork PLN 780
Equipment and transport PLN 210
Other costs PLN 150
Remaining PLN 620
In the example, 21% remains.
Revenue alone doesn't tell you a site's result. The breakdown shows the share of labour, materials and other costs.
In Sites, financial data is linked to projects, so you can view it in the context of the work done.
WORK IT OUT WITH YOUR OWN FIGURES
This is just an example. Your site has its own numbers.
Add your own site and its actual costs. See how the picture of the project changes when all the data is in one place.
You make your decisions based on your own numbers.
- What happens after the trial period? If you do not activate the licence, the trial account will expire.
- A cut-down version? The full system, all modules.
- What happens after the trial? Either you carry on, or you do nothing.
