Project Budgeting
The project budget is one of the essential cornerstones of project controls. 4castplus provides an abundance of tools for planning, analyzing, progressing, forecasting, trending, and reporting against the budget. You can manage all project budgets from a very detailed context or view at a more high-level project or program level.
Careful management of
budget changes
As projects encounter changes, 4castplus provides clarity and control on the project budget state as changes are proposed and then approved. Easily monitor performance against baseline and the impacts of changes.
Automated planned vs.
actual variance analysis
Built-in analysis and reporting on how actual costs, hours and revenues compare against budget as the project plays out. Compare also against earned value, progress and commitments.
Time-phased budgets & forecasts
4castplus natively synchronizes budget with the schedule and time-phased algorithms, along with contract cash flow plans.

Project Forecasting
Performance-based forecasts
4castplus includes built-in EVM forecasting methods for predictive projections of project budget and schedule based on historical performance.
Evidence-based forecasts
Knowledge-driven forecasts are an essential tool for taking corrective action on construction projects. 4castplus provides key tools for applying empirical knowledge on what’s coming and what’s remaining to derive the forecast.
Resource and content-driven forecasts
4castplus enables common-sense forecasting by enabling project managers to forecast remaining resource amounts to complete an activity along with the tools to re-time-phase what’s remaining and reset any updated rates for future resourcing.
Streamline project budgeting and forecasting and gain real-time insight into the health of your construction projects
Project budgeting and forecasting are integral to cost controls and determining key performance indicators on a project. KPIs such as costs to complete, variances, and project performance are vital metrics to capture and trend to achieve a successful project outcome. 4castplus is brimming with features and reporting to provide your stakeholders with the full picture of how your project is going to play out. Don’t let the complexity of construction projects limit your ability to make an impact. Let 4castplus do the heavy lifting for you so you can focus on things that really matter.
