Construction cost management for Quantity Surveyors involves planning, monitoring, and controlling project costs throughout the construction lifecycle. It covers all financial aspects — from forecasting and tendering to variation valuations, interim payments, and project cost reporting. Construction cost management software like Bauwise ensures every construction project cost is accurate, approved, and reconciled in real time.

The software:

  • Reconciles interim valuations and Applications for Payment, change orders, purchase invoices, and actual costs against the budget in real time, updating the Estimate at Completion (EAC) and cash flow forecasts automatically once costs are approved.
  • Generates RFQs and tender packages from the cost plan, simplifying bid collection and comparison with automated bid tabulations, applying multi-level approval workflows for bid selection, and allowing Quantity Surveyors to automatically generate contracts from approved tenders.
  • Links all approved variations directly to their related contracts and cost codes, calculating the financial impact of each variation and blocking unapproved or pending change orders from being included in forecasts until validated.
  • Consolidates budgets, commitments, variations, and actual costs into one reporting structure synchronized with integrated ERP or accounting data, providing portfolio-level cost visibility and real-time dashboards.

 

This enables Construction Quantity Surveyors to maintain real-time visibility over every approved cost, ensure accurate forecasting, and keep financial performance reconciled across all stages of the construction project. 

Construction cost management software helps Quantity Surveyors keep every project cost traceable, approved, and aligned with the budget. It replaces fragmented spreadsheets with one system that reconciles valuations, change orders, and purchase invoices against committed and actual costs. It links each approved transaction to its cost code and contract, keeping forecasts and Estimate at Completion (EAC) updated as approved financial data changes. This gives Construction Quantity Surveyors the accuracy and transparency needed to validate payments, manage variations, and produce cost reports that reflect the construction project’s real financial position.

Construction cost management software continuously updates cash flow forecasts and the Estimate at Completion (EAC) based on approved costs, valuations, and commitments. It reconciles change orders, purchase invoices, and actual costs against the budget in real time, ensuring forecasts reflect verified financial data. Quantity Surveyors gain a clear view of cost-to-complete (CTC) values and potential deviations, enabling them to identify risks early and maintain accurate, data-driven financial forecasts throughout the construction project.

Construction cost management software centralizes variation and valuation management, ensuring every change is properly documented, approved, and reflected in project budgets and reports. Quantity Surveyors can link each variation to the relevant contract and cost code, automatically calculating its impact on budgets, commitments, and the Estimate at Completion (EAC). Interim valuations are reconciled against approved quantities of work done — meaning payments are only made for verified and approved work, as valuations are tied to approved quantities, change orders, and commitments within the system. This provides a clear audit trail for all cost adjustments, allowing Construction Quantity Surveyors to maintain accurate cost records, prevent unauthorized variations, and ensure valuations remain consistent with contract terms and actual progress.
