What do the columns in the Prod. codes table mean?

Explanation of Budget, Rev. budget, Final forecast, Rem. budget, Purchasing, Change Order Sub, Counter Claim, Expected Addition, Uncertainty and Posted cost.

The Prod. codes table shows one row per production code, grouped by group. The columns show the starting point from the estimate (budget), what has been purchased and changed, provisions, what has been posted, and what the code is expected to cost in the end (final forecast).

The most important columns

  • Budget: The original budget from the published estimate.

  • Rev. budget: The budget adjusted for transfers between production codes and for the cost portion of approved Change Order Client.

  • Final forecast: The expected total cost on the code when the project is complete.

  • Rem. budget: The difference between the budget and the final forecast, i.e. how much margin you have left.

  • Purchasing: Contracts and purchases on the code, both planned and purchased.

  • Change Order Sub: Change orders from subcontractors.

  • Counter Claim: Claims you pursue against subcontractors. Deducted from the final forecast.

  • Expected Addition: Costs you know are coming but have not yet been purchased.
