My overall experience with Bauwise have been very positive. My impression is that Bauwise both as a team and as a system are very professional, competitive and reliable, and thereby the perfect partner when it comes to financial project controlling.

“Cooperation with the Bauwise team and the implementation of the Bauwise construction budgeting software in Nordecon and our subsidiaries went smoothly. Necessary developments have always been carried out quickly and efficiently with excellent collaboration on both sides. We are very pleased with them as a partner.

“Bauwise software helps us to track and compare our construction budget with actual costs from accounting in real time. The easy to use online cost allocation and approval workflow has made us more efficient. Our team now has only one “Excel spreadsheet,” and that’s Bauwise.com

Forecast Construction Costs Down to the Details

Build forecasts at any level within your project hierarchy. You can summarize the forecast from the lowest level, make forecasts based on detailed task-based plans, and create higher-level forecasts to get a bigger picture of your project. As the budget details change, dive deeper into your data and break down estimated costs to any line item over the project’s duration.

Forecast costs at different levels.
Forecast costs at the job, cost type, or category level.
Forecast jobs quickly by cost codes.
Get insight into where your project is headed.
Make manual changes before finalizing.

Make Better Forecasts with Accurate Data

Outdated and incomplete data affect your construction project forecasts and the critical business decisions based on those estimates. Free yourself from countless hours spent searching and updating data. Allow your team to work with one database; no one needs to spend time manually re-entering or accidentally duplicating data.

Make quick and well-informed decisions based on accurate forecasts.
Get insight into your cost data and understand forecasts better.
Forecast jobs based on current production data so you know precisely where each phase ends.
Manage your cost data to get more precise forecasts.

FAQ

What is construction forecasting software?

Construction forecasting software is a specialized tool designed to predict the future outcomes of a construction project based on various data inputs and variables. It assists in anticipating costs, project duration, resource allocation, potential risks, and other critical elements of a project. These predictions help contractors, project managers, and stakeholders make informed decisions, manage risks, and ensure projects remain on track and within budget.

Key features and benefits of construction forecasting software include:

Cost Estimation: Predict future costs based on current spending, project progression, and other factors.
Schedule Prediction: Estimate project timelines and anticipate potential delays.
Resource Allocation Forecast: Predict labor, machinery, and material requirements over time.
Cash Flow Analysis: Anticipate future cash inflows and outflows, assisting in budgeting and financial planning.
Risk Management: Identify potential risks or challenges and simulate their impacts on the project.
Scenario Analysis: Test various what-if scenarios to understand possible outcomes and make contingency plans.
Integration: Often integrates with other project management tools or financial systems for seamless data flow.
Data Analytics and Visualization: Transform raw data into actionable insights through graphs, charts, and reports.
Historical Data Utilization: Use past project data to refine predictions for current and future projects.
Real-time Updates: As project data changes, the forecasts adjust accordingly, offering real-time insights.

Companies can reduce uncertainties, make data-driven decisions, optimize resources, and enhance overall project management efficiency using construction forecasting software.

How do you forecast a construction project?

Forecasting a construction project involves predicting future outcomes based on available data and current progress. Here’s a step-by-step approach:

Historical Data: Use past projects to establish baselines for costs and durations.
Scope Definition: Clearly outline the project’s goals and requirements.
Schedule: Create a project timeline with key milestones.
Cost Estimation: Predict direct (labor, materials) and indirect (overhead) costs.
Resource Forecast: Predict labor and equipment needs over time.
Cash Flow: Estimate when you’ll incur costs and receive payments.
Risk Assessment: Identify, quantify, and develop strategies for potential risks.
Use Technology: Implement forecasting software for real-time adjustments and scenarios.
Review and Update: Continuously compare actual progress to forecasts and adjust as needed.
Communication: Keep stakeholders informed of forecasts and any changes.
Post-Project Analysis: After completion, compare forecasts to actual results for future refinement.

By following these steps, you can efficiently anticipate and plan for the demands and challenges of your construction project.

What are the different types of construction forecasting?

Construction forecasting involves predicting various aspects of a construction project to ensure its successful and timely completion. The different types of construction forecasting include:

Cost Forecasting: Predicting the total cost of the project based on current spending, commitments, and anticipated changes. This includes direct costs (like labor, materials, and equipment) and indirect costs (like administration and site overhead).
Schedule Forecasting: Estimating the time required to complete the project or individual milestones, taking into account any delays or accelerations.
Resource Forecasting: Predicting the quantity and timing of resources needed, including labor, equipment, and materials. This helps ensure that the right resources are available at the right time.
Cash Flow Forecasting: Estimating the inflow and outflow of cash over the project duration. It helps manage liquidity, understand when additional funding might be needed, and when to expect payments.
Risk Forecasting: Identifying potential risks, estimating their likelihood and impact, and predicting their possible effects on the project’s cost, schedule, or quality.
Demand Forecasting: For construction firms or developers, predicting the market demand for a specific project or infrastructure can help in strategic planning and decision-making.
Environmental Impact Forecasting: Predicting the ecological implications of a construction project, both during and after construction.
Quality Forecasting: Anticipating the quality of the finished project based on current work standards, materials used, and the workmanship observed.
Safety Forecasting: Predicting potential safety issues or incidents based on current practices to address them and maintain a safe work environment proactively.
Post-construction Forecasting: Predicting aspects like the life cycle cost of a facility, maintenance requirements, or potential future renovations.

By employing these types of forecasting, construction professionals can make proactive decisions, manage risks, ensure efficient resource allocation, and enhance the overall chances of project success.
