Project Management Continued

Project Estimates, Projections and Actual Costs

Whether your project is a single stage or needs to be costed across thirty different phases, simPRO easily manages the process. As you will see below it’s not just the financial aspects that are taken care of, the project management aspects of simPRO allow for document coordination.

Scheduling And Costing Labour and Sub-Contractors

Using your estimate as a basis, simPRO starts tracking costs from the moment you schedule the job. Any labour scheduled in advance is presented as a committed cost to allow you to predict future costs.

As a project manager, imagine the advantages of having this labour cost reporting at your discretion and being to be able to adjust allocations to suit.

Managing Materials And Equipment Costs

As with labour, simPRO tracks and costs all materials and equipment against the project estimate. This tracking is automated as supplier orders are raised. There are many ways to raise purchase orders throughout simPRO which we can show you or you can see here.

As orders are raised they are visible in the job cost summary as a committed cost. Once supplier invoices are received and any amounts not used are adjusted, the actuals can be easily compared to the estimate.

Project Management Documentation and Communications

Being browser based, users can access documentation via any web browser. This instant access to information allows technicians or project managers on site to get immediate access to drawings, ohs requirements, site information, correspondence or any relevant document.

Project Management Document Control

The Attach function means you can upload any project related files directly to the job folder for easy access. In addition to access of project documents simPRO makes accessing contact details and generating work orders, variations, work instructions and standard correspondence just a simple click of the button.
