Practitioner

  • Budget vs. Actual Report RPT 201 · Practitioner · Reporting, Forecasting & Analytics
    The side-by-side comparison of what a job was supposed to cost against what it has actually cost so far, read at the cost-code level to catch trouble while there is still time to react.
  • Backlog Report RPT 202 · Practitioner · Reporting, Forecasting & Analytics
    The report that quantifies contracted work not yet performed - the revenue and margin already sold - and tells a contractor how much runway it has before the pipeline has to deliver.
  • Pipeline Report RPT 203 · Practitioner · Reporting, Forecasting & Analytics
    The weighted view of opportunities a contractor is pursuing but has not yet won, used to forecast future bookings and decide where to spend scarce estimating capacity.
  • Labor Productivity Report RPT 204 · Practitioner · Reporting, Forecasting & Analytics

  • Executive Dashboard RPT 206 · Practitioner · Reporting, Forecasting & Analytics
    The consolidated, at-a-glance view of the metrics that run a construction company - backlog, margin, cash, and risk - designed to direct attention, not replace the reports beneath it.
  • Accounts Receivable Aging RPT 207 · Practitioner · Reporting, Forecasting & Analytics

  • DSO & DPO RPT 209 · Practitioner · Reporting, Forecasting & Analytics

  • Equipment Utilization Report RPT 210 · Practitioner · Reporting, Forecasting & Analytics
    The report that measures how much a contractor's owned equipment actually earns against what it costs to own, exposing idle iron, wrong fleet size, and the true cost recovered through job charge-outs.

Advanced

  • Profit Fade Analysis RPT 301 · Advanced · Reporting, Forecasting & Analytics
    The report that tracks how a job's estimated gross margin erodes from bid to close, exposing which projects lose money slowly and why - and whether the fade was predictable.
  • Earned Value Management (EVM) RPT 302 · Advanced · Reporting, Forecasting & Analytics
