What to track

Project cost tracking should show the estimated cost, committed cost, actual cost and approved changes for each job. The detail can be simple, but it needs to be consistent.

Cost areas

  • Labour and subcontractor costs
  • Materials, stock and purchase orders
  • Plant, hire and delivery costs
  • Variations and client approvals
  • Rework, waste and delay notes
  • Invoice status and margin summary

Keep evidence close

Costs are easier to explain when purchase orders, delivery notes, photos, variation approvals and completion records are linked to the job.

Zektrx connects Construction Project Cost Tracking Software, Construction Procurement Software and Construction Reporting Software.
