Know where the cost lands, not just where it is.
A running total tells you what you have spent. Buildflic projects the final cost from your current spend rate and the scope still remaining, so an overrun is a warning you get early, not a number you confirm at the end.
Current spend rate outpaces progress on structural works
->Projected overrun: 7.8% unless procurement is re-timed
Spend rate against remaining scope.
The projection is deliberately simple to reason about - it is your real spend pace, extended across the work still to come.
- 1
Anchor to the committed budget
Start from the budget set at planning - line items, allowances and contingency - so every later reading is measured against a fixed, agreed baseline.
- 2
Read the real spend rate
As costs are booked against progress, Buildflic tracks how fast budget is being consumed relative to how much has actually been built.
- 3
Project the final cost
The engine extends the current spend rate across the remaining scope, producing a projected final cost - not a snapshot of what is spent, but where it lands.
- 4
Flag the overrun while it is avoidable
When the projection crosses the budget, it is surfaced early with the gap quantified, so procurement and scope decisions can still change the outcome.
Worked projection
At 68% verified progress the spend rate is running ahead of the build. Held to the end, that pace lands at 1.94 Cr - a 7.8% overrun, flagged now, while procurement can still change it.
A projection is only as good as its inputs.
What the projection assumes, and what improves it
The projected final cost assumes your current spend rate continues across the remaining scope. It is at its roughest early, when little has been booked, and sharpens as real cost and verified progress accumulate. Clean cost coding, timely booking and confirmed progress are what tighten it - and Buildflic shows the projection as a range, not a false-precise single figure, until the data supports one.
See your overrun before it is unavoidable.
