The project tracking and
financial performance package is a Microsoft© hosted Excel™ spreadsheet
program that will assist owners,
estimators and project managers in tracking bid project costs of
simple through complex projects where labor and material costs are
known and gross profit margins are calculated. TrakPro will
assist you in making informed resource decisions as well as manage
profit and gross profit margin percentage objectives through
estimate-to-complete and final costs.
The TrakPro workbook
incorporates
twelve (12) topic planning forms. The main forms are:
Summary, Technician, Labor,
Material, Subcontract, Freight,
PPPM (Parking, Per Diem, Permits and Mileage),
WIP and Invoice.
- The
Summary Sheet is fed by all other sheets in the
workbook. Contract labor, material, and other costs are input
along with the sell price and expected profits. As actual costs
start to accrue, TrakPro compares bid-to-actual results
and expected profits. An estimate-to-complete line allows project
and financial managers to assess project health. Besides the
original contract, TrakPro will allow up to 35 change
orders and will track all appropriate comparisons. |
|
- The
Technician Sheet allows input for tracking of up to
fifty (50) people. Since some functions within Excel require a
sorted list, these workers can be input and sorted using
Data-Sort feature of the toolbar. |
|
- The
Labor Sheet allows up to 500 entries for time and
raw labor rates in order to calculate burdened costs. Hours can
be tracked by regular, overtime, double and premium rates. |
|
- The
Material Sheet allows up to 500 entries describing
vendors, PO numbers, dates, dollar amounts and a specific notes
section for future clarifications. |
|
- The
Subcontract Sheet allows entries (25 or more)
describing subcontractor names, PO numbers, dollar amounts and a
specific notes section for future clarifications. |
- The
Freight Sheet allows entries (25 or more)
describing vendor names, PO numbers, shippers, dollar amounts and
a specific notes section for future clarifications. |
- The
PPPM Sheet (parking, per diem, permits and mileage)
allows entries (25 or more) describing names, type of cost,
dollar amounts and a specific notes section for future
clarifications. |
- The Cost
Chart will provide a quick graphical representation of
the contract, actual and estimate-to-complete (ETC) costs. |
|
- The WIP
Sheet (work in progress) follows costs, estimates-to-complete,
billing percentages, cash positions and tracks manhours. In
addition to the original contract, the WIP sheet
allows comparisons utilizing Time & Material (T & M)
numbers, and fixed sell amounts for material and labor. In each
case, complete financial status is displayed. |
|
WIP Option 1 depicts
all input sheets to calculate final profit and gross
margins. |

WIP
Option 2 depicts all input sheets and the
user set T & M rates to calculate related Labor & Other
sell amounts. |

Profit Margin to calculate related Labor & Other sell
amounts. |
|

fixed labor sell amount ($16,000) to calculate related
Material/Other sell amounts and gross profit margin. |
|
The WIP Items Option
