Estimate vs. Actual Tracking
Enter actual costs as invoices arrive. See real-time variance at every level — item, room, category, and project.
How Cost Tracking Works
Every line item has both an estimated cost and an actual cost field. As invoices come in, enter the actual. The dashboard instantly shows variance at the room, category, and project level with green (under budget) or red (over budget) indicators.
- Per-item estimated and actual cost fields
- Automatic variance calculation (estimated minus actual)
- Payment tracking with paid checkbox and date
- Contractor assignment per line item
Why Real-Time Tracking Matters
Most investors discover budget overruns after the project is finished. By entering actuals as you go, you get early warning when a room or category is trending over budget — while you still have time to adjust.
