Construction WIP Reporting Software

WIP from records, not from asking the PMs.

Percent-complete from actual cost against forecast final, revenue from the live contract value with variations in, over and under-billing visible by project. The WIP falls out of the system that ran the work, every month, substantiated to the line.

The WIP falls out of the system that ran the work

Construction WIP reporting software produces a true position by building the WIP schedule from operational records: committed and actual cost against forecast final, certified valuations, and contract value with approved variations in. Archdesk runs the WIP and the monthly CVR (cost value reconciliation) from the same data that ran the work, so over and under-billing surface by project and every number drills down to the line.

Profit fade caught while it is a conversation

Cost-to-complete and profit projections update from live data, with overrun alerts and trend identification, so fade shows up early instead of as a month-nine surprise.

Percent-complete from cost, not opinion

Progress comes from actual cost against forecast final and certified valuations, not estimates emailed in by project managers.

Over and under-billing by project

Billing position surfaces across the portfolio, with accrue and prepay calculations handled in the report itself, alongside portfolio cashflow.

The valuations and the accounts agree

Progress claims, payment certification and revenue recognition run from the same numbers as the WIP, so the figure finance books is the figure the project reported.

When the auditor asks, the answer is a drill-down

Every line in the WIP substantiates back to the records that produced it: valuations, commitments, actual cost and approved variations, all in one system.

Frequently Asked Questions: WIP Reporting & CVR

What is construction WIP reporting software?

Software that builds the work-in-progress schedule from operational records instead of spreadsheets. Archdesk produces the WIP from committed and actual cost against forecast final, certified valuations, and contract value with approved variations included, so over and under-billing surface by project across the portfolio.

How is percent-complete calculated?

From actual cost against forecast final cost and certified valuations, not from estimates emailed in by project managers. The WIP reflects the site as it stands today because progress, cost and earned value are tracked live on every project.

What is a CVR (cost value reconciliation) report?

A CVR (cost value reconciliation) compares the cost of the work done against the value earned for it, so the true position of each contract is visible month by month. In Archdesk the monthly CVR generates from live project data alongside the WIP, in the format each stakeholder needs, with nothing rebuilt in a spreadsheet.

How does WIP reporting catch profit fade early?

Cost-to-complete forecasting and profit projections update from live data, with cost overrun alerts and trend identification the moment a project starts to drift. Fade shows up while it is still a conversation, not as a month-nine surprise.

Can WIP figures be substantiated for finance and auditors?

Yes. Every line in the WIP drills down to the records that produced it: valuations, commitments, actual cost and approved variations. Progress claims, payment certification and revenue recognition run from the same numbers, so the figure finance books is the figure the project reported.
