Why a Construction forecast is different

Handles progress billing, retainage held back by clients and the gap between paying crews and getting paid on a project. A generic template makes you invent these lines yourself and guess at timing. This one starts with them in place.

What you’ll see after 20 minutes

• The week your balance is lowest over the next quarter
• How many months of runway you have at current spending
• What happens to cash if sales drop 20%, or a large customer pays late
• Whether you can afford a hire, an equipment purchase or a slow season

What’s in the file

A start-here tab with instructions, a settings tab for your dates and opening balance, the weekly and monthly forecasts, a scenarios tab, an actuals tracker and a one-page dashboard you can print or send to your bank.
