Investor reporting for construction projects

I combine the estimate, construction schedule, workforce resources, project cash flow, KPIs and risks in one report. During supervision, the plan is compared with actual progress.

Budget control

From the initial offer to the fixed price

Changes are separated from the original baseline so the investor can see how and why the project budget changed.

Risk register and forecast

Issues the investor should see before a decision

The risk register records the basis, potential impact, required action and status. Below are initial issues identifiable from the baseline data.

Weather impact

Rain days are excluded from the schedule; calendar completion may change. The schedule forecast should be updated weekly.

MONITOR

Material prepayments and deliveries

A material prepayment is planned in week one. Orders, delivery dates and title conditions should be checked before payment.

BEFORE START

Cash-flow gap in week 2

The baseline shows cumulative cash flow of −28,195.74 EUR at the end of week 2. Interim payment timing or funding cover must be clarified before contract.

CLARIFY

Change control

Additional scope and the price update changed the initial offer. Further changes should be approved before execution.
