Construction forecasting is the process of predicting a project’s final cost, cash flow position, and profitability based on current committed and actual cost data – rather than waiting until the job finishes to find out whether you made money.
Estimating happens before the project starts – it’s your best guess at tender stage. Forecasting happens during the project – it’s a live prediction that updates as real cost data comes in. Estimates are fixed; forecasts evolve.
Monthly is the minimum, aligned with your CVR cycle. After major lettings or change events, update immediately. With software that connects commitments to forecasts, the forecast can update continuously.
Committed costs (subcontracts, POs), actual costs (invoices paid), accrued costs (work done but not yet invoiced), approved and anticipated variations, and realistic estimates of remaining uncommitted work.
The most common causes are stale data (invoices lagging reality), uncommitted costs missing from the forecast, optimism bias, copy-pasting last month’s figures without review, and unpriced variations sitting in limbo.
Partially. When purchase orders and subcontracts feed directly into the forecast, committed costs update automatically. The QS still needs to estimate remaining uncommitted work and review risk – but the manual data gathering disappears.
