Post Contract Valuations
Commercial management of projects relies heavily on the quality of decisions and information produced pre-contract to diligently manage the commercial process to final account. Constantly monitoring the project against defined targets. Post Contract systems must allow the surveyor access to the complete tender information and facilitate the project’s re-definition into operational packages. Supporting the preparation of financial statements and internal, external and subcontract valuations at all levels of detail.
Information systems should provide a common framework, enabling companies, departments and working disciplines to integrate commercial processes, workflows and data across disparate applications. Post Contract systems hold a key position in this framework, acting as the inheritor of data from a variety of procurement methods, forecasting outturn costs. Assisting you to effectively manage those target costs set at tender stage and ultimately feed your historical cost benchmark database with actual package information.
EValuate Post Contract
The EValuate Post Contract module provides surveyors with a powerful solution for managing a contract final account and valuing work complete.
The system provides an auditable pathway from pre to post contract. Project information is inherited by the surveyor, complete with all estimating data.
Awarded tender information is locked and passed to delivery team, archiving item rate and resource detail. The project surveyor inherits the full estimate data including all subcontract enquiry and quote comparison information. Contract information is presented as three independent scenarios: Internal, External and Subcontract, with each view maintaining independent final quantities, rates and valuation information. Advanced repackage functionality means that Sub contract packages can be combined or amended maintaining both cost and value allocations.
Variations may be added to any existing part of a BQ or as a separate variation account section. Items are created pro-rata from existing items, from description libraries, imported via CITE files, Excel worksheets or typed directly. Variation flags exist to indicate recoverable or non-recoverable status and negotiation stage achieved.
Cumulative valuation input is by quantity, percentage or value to date by item and/or user defined range. A specific materials on site valuations function allows contribution to be a combination of resource based and ad-hoc inputs.
