Track actual spend against projected spend

Once you have defined your project using the templated work breakdown structure, you can quickly and easily see if your project is on track or at risk of over-spend. It is critical that you catch this early otherwise you may have a project running out of control.

We have all seen construction projects stopped because the budget was exceeded. If you overspend you also impact you or your clients return on investment.

Step 3 - Plan and Schedulde your Construction Project in Excel

Construction projects are notorious for delays. This can become expensive. If you are a contractor this can impact your band name. It is vital that you have an easy and simple tool to plan and project the completion date of each stage.

With these Excel templates, when you fill in the dates for each stage, it will automaticaly populate an Excel based Gantt chart that automatically adjusts based on task items and dates.

Step 4 - Track Performance , Invoice, and Manage Change Requests

Once you have setup,planned your project, started aquiring material and sub-contractors, you need an effective business process to manage and track your day-to-day project spend.

If you have changed your plan or your client has changed their requirements, you need to track, invoice, and if necessary raise change requests. You can do this via the invoicing and change control toolbar/macros.

Testimonials - excel construction templates

"Milos... this is one of the simplest, clearest, yet extremely useful excel construction estimating templates I have seen. I like the fact that you have included reports. I bought some other templates from another vendor which were 5 times more expensive and didn't include the detailed management reports that you have.

It has saved me hours and I don't have to buy any expensive software. It is all in Excel.

If a person can't sit down and start producing professional estimates and winning bids, there isn't a tool on the market that can help them.

Thanks for putting together some templates that takes the complexity and mystique out of developing construction estimates on a level any one can understand... and most importantly... act on!
