Tracking Project Progressโ€‹

The Construction Management module provides multiple ways to monitor project progress:

Phase-Level Progressโ€‹

Each Phase (WBS) includes a progress percentage that reflects the completion status of work within that phase. The costing tab shows Material Cost, Equipment Cost, Labour Cost, and Overhead Cost against the total.

Task-Level Progressโ€‹

Individual Tasks include:

  • Progress (%) -- Manual progress tracking with visual progress bar
  • Priority -- Normal, Low, High, or Urgent classification
  • Timesheet logging -- Employee hours tracked against each task

Budget Variance Trackingโ€‹

Budgets provide real-time financial tracking:

  • Planned Amount vs Actual Amount per line item
  • Variance auto-computed (Planned - Actual)
  • Progress (%) showing budget utilization

Smart Button Navigationโ€‹

Both Projects and Sub Projects provide smart buttons with counts for quick navigation to:

  • Sub Projects, Budgets, Phases, Work Orders
  • Material Requisitions, Tasks, Extra Expenses
