Construction Job Profit & Budget Control Dashboard | Excel Template for Contractors & Builders

Track job profitability, budgets, costs, cash collection and forecast-at-completion in one professional Excel dashboard.

Description

Construction Job Profit & Budget Control Dashboard is a professional Excel management tool designed for contractors, builders and construction businesses that need a clear view of project profitability and cost performance.

The model helps you monitor up to 50 construction projects from one workbook and identify potential cost overruns before they become major problems.

Track contract values, approved budgets, actual costs, project progress, invoicing, collections, forecast final cost and expected profit.

The workbook automatically compares actual cost burn with project progress and calculates a forecast-at-completion for each job. If management has a more accurate final cost estimate, it can be entered manually to override the automatic forecast.

Projects are automatically classified as Healthy, Warning or Critical, helping managers focus immediately on the jobs requiring attention.
