Sites and Stages, Planned Against Actual

Each project is one record with the client, contract value and the stages you bill on. Every stage shows planned and actual dates and the amount billed so far.

How a site opens

Client, address, contract value and start date are entered first. Stages follow, named as your own bills name them, each with a planned start and end. Budget heads sit under the site for material, labour, contract work, machinery and overheads.

What a stage shows

Planned against actual

The planned date and the actual date are both left visible on the stage, so a difference is shown as it stands. It is not hidden.

Billed so far

How much of the contract value the stage has carried so far, and how much is still left in it. Billing is read stage by stage.

The work under it

Measurements, indents, attendance and photographs all point at a stage, and the stage is how a site is read. Everything else hangs from it.

Slippage with reasons

A stopped day is recorded with its reason on the day it happened, so a late stage becomes a list of dates. It does not depend on a review meeting.

Across several sites

  • The stage each site has reached
  • Stages running past their planned date, and why
  • Budget head against actual spend, site by site
  • Contract value billed against what is still to come
  • Drawings and approvals attached to their stage
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can our own stage names be used?

Yes. Stage names, the rate list and the bill format are set before the first site is loaded, and they follow what your clients already accept. Nothing is renamed to suit the software.

What about a site that is already halfway?

It comes across as it stands, with bills raised, advances paid and retention already held. The next measurement carries on from there. Nothing restarts.

Is this a scheduling tool?

No. It records stage dates, actual dates and the reason for stopped days, but there is no network diagram. A firm that plans in Primavera can keep planning there.
