Show the client what actually moved on site this period.

We write construction project progress and budget variance analytics as numbered packs: photographs keyed to activities, planned versus built work, and a variance note a QS can read.

The period pack, not a slide deck

System Craftline sits with the accepted programme, the cost report, and a walk of the works. The output is a PDF you take to the monthly client meeting: progress by activity, a cumulative curve for the packages in scope, and a budget sheet that names where the variance lives.

  1. 01

    Documents in

    Accepted programme, last updates, budget codes, and a named escort on site.

  2. 02

    Walk or drawing review

    Photographs and measurements against activity IDs, not a gallery of wide shots.

  3. 03

    Pack issued

    Draft for factual comment, then a numbered issue for the reporting date.

A mild disagreement is more useful than a smooth curve

If the site diary and the programme freeze on different dates for the same slab, the pack shows both. Construction project progress and budget variance analytics only help a meeting when the sources are visible.

From a recent housing phase

The first pack arrived with brickwork shown separately from the groundworks curve. Our client had been congratulating us on a healthy overall line while the elevations were still sitting. I would have liked the draft a day earlier before the Thursday meeting, but the activity IDs matched the programme we actually work to.
