Bill of Resources and project costing explained
The resource definition behind every task. A Bill of Resources lists what it takes to complete a task — material, labour, machine and tool lines in a header-process-resource structure, each priced from the Resource master by quantity and rate. Covers how the BOR rolls up to an estimated cost, how estimate compares to budget, and how planned resources become actual consumption through store issue against a task.
Gantt charts and project scheduling: from task list to timeline
A Gantt chart turns a work breakdown structure into a timeline you can defend. This guide follows a project's tasks onto the Gantt — bars positioned by start, finish and duration, predecessor dependencies driving the sequence — and shows how adjusting one task's dates reveals the knock-on effect on everything downstream, so a slip is visible before it becomes a surprise on site.
Milestone and progress billing for construction and project work
Waiting until a project completes to invoice ties up cash you've already spent. This guide covers billing by project, by resource and by milestone, raising progress and RA (running-account) bills for work done to date, keeping resource-itemised bills tied to the tasks they cover, and passing and clearing subcontractor bills against a purchase order — so invoicing follows delivery instead of trailing it.
