Variance analysis

 

The CMS Desk’s comprehensive construction cost management software enables robust variance analysis. By pinpointing deviations between budgeted and actual costs, users can discover root causes, such as price fluctuations, volume changes, or operational inefficiencies. This analysis facilitates performance evaluation and empowers informed decision-making by developing corrective action plans to address unfavourable variances and capitalise on opportunities.

  • Identify deviations: Pinpoint discrepancies between budgeted and actual costs.
  • Uncover root causes: Determine underlying factors contributing to variances.
  • Measure financial impact: Assess the effect of variances on overall project performance.
  • Develop corrective actions: Create strategies to address unfavourable variances and capitalize on positive trends.
