Predictable Profitable Projects Start With Structured Records
When you can't track costs accurately or recover variations reliably, profitability becomes guesswork.
Your site records should deliver commercial assurance.
Profitability Shouldn't Be A Mystery
You're making million-pound decisions based on information that's three weeks old. Your commercial manager can tell you what happened last month in detail, but can't tell you what's happening right now. You know you're missing variations, but you won't know which ones until after the payment application deadline.

Three Weeks Behind Reality
Financial position updates monthly, not daily.
By the time you spot margin erosion, you've already burned through contingency.
Your forecasts describe the past, not the future.

£450k in Missed Recovery
On a £50m project, 18% of valid variations never make payment applications. Not because the work wasn't done, but because commercial teams are too busy compiling last month's data to capture this month's changes.

800 Hours on Admin vs Strategy
Your commercial manager's expertise is wasted on manual compilation. That's 20 weeks annually on Excel instead of protecting margin, managing risk, or improving outcomes.

It Requires Commercial Assurance
Real time financial visibility. Systematic variation recovery. Forecasts you can defend.
These aren't revolutionary concepts. Every project manager knows they're essential. The issue is that spreadsheets and form builders can't deliver them - no matter how good your team is.
