QuickBooks shows total labor cost. ControlQore shows actual cost per connection against estimated cost per connection every week while the job is running. Here is how SPM builds the system.
bolted connections by type, welded connections by type, deck installation by SF, column erection by piece - by building zone and elevation. Each cost code maps to the corresponding estimate category. When a foreman posts hours it hits the same bucket used in the bid.
Actual connections per crew-day against estimated rate by elevation. When any cost code runs more than 10% over estimate for two consecutive weeks SPM flags it. The cause is identifiable in the cost code detail.
Fabrication deposit negotiated as a separate SOV line item billed at deposit payment not at steel delivery. A $112,000 fabricator deposit should produce a $112,000 billing event at deposit. SPM eliminates the fabrication float.
Written GC notice within 24 hours of verbal sequence change request. Crane time and crew cost impact calculated at time of request. Cost proposal submitted before the change is implemented.
