The budget, the commitments and the forecast on the same line

Construction budget management software keeps the final cost forecast live by holding the approved budget, variations, commitments and delivered value on the same cost lines. Archdesk tracks purchase orders, invoices, change orders and subcontractor valuations against every cost head in real time, so anticipated final cost updates as the project moves, not at month-end.

Month-end becomes a read, not a rebuild

Purchase orders, invoices and subcontractor valuations track against each cost line as they happen, so the cost report is current every day of the month.

A forecast you can defend

Earned Value Management, cost-to-complete predictions and trend analysis keep anticipated final cost live, with early warnings when a line starts to drift.

The numbers you bid are the numbers you run

Budgets build from templates with cost codes aligned to industry standards and reconcile against the estimate, so nothing is lost between winning the work and delivering it.

Every revision leaves a trail

Budget changes and commitments go through multi-level approval workflows with a full audit trail, so every movement in the number has a reason attached.

Final cost is live, not rebuilt monthly

Approved budget, variations, committed cost and delivered value sit on the same line, and the budget connects to the schedule through MS Project and Primavera P6, so cost and delivery move together.

Cost Control & Drilldown

Actual cost tracks against each budget line as it happens, and any number drills down to the purchase order or invoice behind it. Change orders show their impact before they land.

Cost Forecasting

Anticipated final cost updates as the project moves. Earned value, cost-to-complete and trend analysis flag drift on a line while there is still time to recover it.

Project Integration

The budget does not sit on its own. It connects to scheduling, resources and documents, so cost moves when the work does.
