Budgeting

The job pressure

Budgets hide variance until month-end — remaining to award is a guessing game.

On the job

Construction job budgeting should answer a daily question: what is still left to award, and what already committed? EstiLumina turns the locked estimate into a hierarchical budget you can scan without waiting for month-end archaeology.

Budget, committed, actual, projected, and remain columns sit on the same lines. Click a cell to open the quotes, POs, and bills behind the number. Drift badges and remaining-to-award help you decide the next RFQ before variance becomes a surprise.

Team edits merge line by line with revision history, so the PM and estimator are not fighting a shared workbook.

How it works

1. 1

   Lock the estimate into a hierarchical budget baseline.

2. 2

   Scan Budget · Committed · Actual · Projected · Remain columns.

3. 3

   Click a cell to open quotes, POs, and bills for that line.

4. 4

   Use drift badges and remaining-to-award to decide the next RFQ.

What you get

• Hierarchical budget from locked estimate
• Job-cost columns including remaining to award / commit left
• Cell drill-down to quotes, POs, bills, AP
• Team edits merge safely, line by line, with revision history
• Variance and usage history paths

Why teams subscribe

• Locked estimate becomes the budget you can scan daily
• Remain and commit-left columns show what still needs award
• Cell drill-down opens the quotes and POs behind the number

Honest boundaries

• Not a general accounting ledger that replaces your books.
• Not a claim that every regional cost code library ships preloaded.
