Cost overruns appear at the quarterly review, not week 3

By the time a cost overrun appears in the monthly commercial report, it has been building for three weeks. The budget spreadsheet is maintained by the commercial manager, updated from emails and phone calls, and distributed as a PDF on the last day of the month.

The data is always a month old. The corrective action always comes too late.

Month-end commercial reports are already too late

By the time the report is compiled, the overrun is three weeks old. The subcontractor has already invoiced, the material is on site, and the budget is spent.

EVM calculated in a separate spreadsheet

CPI and SPI are calculated in Excel, manually updated from field progress data. The formulas are fragile. The results are always a few days behind.

RA bills tracked in email threads

The status of a payment application (submitted, certified, disputed, paid) lives in a chain of emails between the commercial manager and the principal.

Cost codes inconsistent across projects

Every PM maintains their own cost code structure. Cross-project comparison requires hours of manual reconciliation before a director can see a meaningful number.

Approved variations not reflected in the working budget

A signed variation order sits in a folder. The working budget doesn't change until someone manually adds it to the spreadsheet, sometimes weeks later.

No early warning before the overrun is unrecoverable

A project running 8% over budget at week 6 shows up at the month-end review. At week 3, the overrun was still recoverable. That window closes silently.

Budget, EVM, and RA bills from the same live project

CivilBolt builds the budget from the contract cost codes, calculates earned value from daily field progress, tracks RA bills by submission and certification date, and alerts on variance before it becomes unrecoverable.

Your commercial team works from live data. Directors see portfolio health without compiling a report.

Budget populated from contract cost codes

Contract awarded amounts broken into cost codes at upload. Actual spend tracked against each code as work progresses and invoices are entered.

Earned value from field progress, not a formula

CPI and SPI calculated from daily log quantities and task completion, updated daily. Not from a spreadsheet formula that someone forgot to update.

Variance alerts at the threshold you set

Set a cost variance threshold and get an alert when a cost code crosses it. Week 2 visibility, not month-end reconciliation.

RA bill tracker with certification deadlines

Log each payment application with submission date, certified amount, disputed items, and payment status. Certification deadlines tracked and alerted.

Approved variations added to the working budget

Variation orders entered into the project update the budget immediately. EAC recalculates with every approved change.

Director portfolio view across all projects

All projects visible with CPI, EAC, and budget health. Updated in real time, not at month-end. No report to compile.

From contract value to live EVM in three steps

No separate spreadsheet. No month-end data entry.

01

Contract value and cost codes populated at upload

Awarded contract amount and cost codes extracted from the contract document. Budget structure ready before the first invoice arrives.

02

Daily field progress drives earned value

Daily log quantities and task completion flow into CPI and SPI calculations automatically. Earned value is a product of what's happening on site, not a spreadsheet formula.

EVM tab showing CPI, SPI, earned value, and planned value curves updated from field progress
03

RA bills tracked from submission to payment

Log each payment application with submission date, certified amount, and payment status. Certification deadlines calculated from the contract. Overdue certifications flagged automatically.
