Effectively managing project costs is crucial to their success. Learn what you should be looking for in a complete project cost management solution.
Govern All Project Costs Together
There are two basic types of costs in every project.
Direct Costs
Direct costs are the materials, space or subcontractors used for a project and have an explicit cost you can allocate to the project.Time
In the form of labor, machinery or other resources, the main factor used in calculating the cost is time.
Many treat these costs differently simply because they may be tracked or managed in different systems. You need to bring all these together, so you get a holistic view of your entire project costs. From there you can manage the financial aspects of your projects more effectively.
Key Project Cost Management Capabilities You Need
PRECISION
You can’t rely on guesswork. From building estimations and budgets to tracking costs as the project progresses, you need accuracy. You need a system that connects all the sources of your different costs and gives you accurate costs across the project.
COST BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE
The cost breakdown structure (CBS) is the central planning structure against which all financial activities are planned and managed. The CBS is a multi-level hierarchy that allows you to define the exact level of details required to efficiently manage a given project or contract.
ESTIMATE AT COMPLETION
EAC is critical to understanding how a project is expected to finish and make course corrections. You need a formal and automated method for consistently conducting EAC to manage your project costs effectively.
CHANGE ORDERS
Projects rarely finish the way they are planned. You need a systematic way to track and incorporate change orders into your project as they occur.
COST CONTROLS
When tracking your project costs, you need to quickly see when costs and associated margins deviate from acceptable limits. Setup thresholds for your key cost metrics and be alerted instantly when they go off track.
REAL-TIME REPORTING
Oftentimes, reporting the financial status of projects takes considerable time and effort. You need real-time project financial reporting that is easy to digest. Maximize control over your business.
Consistent Estimate-at-Completion Calculations
Estimate-at-completion (EAC) is critically important to effective project cost management.
Typically, most create a project budget and then track actuals as the project progress. However, they do not consistently compute EAC and Cost-to Complete (CTC). While comparing BAC to actuals will give you variance from the original budget, you will not be able to reassess how the project is actually expected to finish.
By periodically evaluating CTC and EAC, controllers can predict and record variances before they materialize and in time to take corrective action. It is also crucial in spotting trends and making mid-project corrections.
