01
My budget lives in a different system to the project — by the time I spot a cost variance, it has been building for weeks
02
Extra work gets instructed verbally, done on the day, and then disputed at final account because I have no variation order from the time it happened
03
I spend half my time producing reports and reconciling numbers instead of managing the actual project
04
Managing subcontractors against their original scope is manual and error-prone — I often discover a payment issue too late to challenge it
How QBaticEPM3 resolves this
The estimate becomes the live budget at contract award — one number, in one place, always current.
In QBaticEPM3 the approved tender estimate becomes the project budget the moment the contract is awarded — every work activity, every resource allocation, every subcontract package already structured and waiting for daily costs to be posted against it. Site supervisors capture labour, plant, materials, and subcontractor attendance on the day. The PM's cost-to-complete is current to yesterday's field entry every morning — not reconstructed from site diaries at month-end.
Daily cost-to-complete from field entries — current every morning, zero reconciliation required.
How QBaticEPM3 resolves this
Every variation priced, issued, and approved before a single resource is committed — always.
QBaticEPM3 makes it straightforward to issue a variation order before the extra work starts — a formal document with the instructing authority's reference, the agreed rate, and the programme impact recorded. The client approval is captured in the system on the day it is given. At final account the commercial history is a complete, documented record. The dispute about what was or was not agreed fourteen months ago cannot happen because the system has it timestamped and attributed.
Zero unpriced variations — every scope change documented and authorised before work begins.
How QBaticEPM3 resolves this
Reports generated from live project data in minutes — not assembled from scattered sources over two days.
Monthly progress reports, cost reports, programme updates, and variation registers are generated from the live project data that the PM is already working from every day. There is nothing to chase and nothing to reconcile. The client receives accurate, consistent information that matches the data the PM worked from the previous day — not a document produced under deadline pressure from sources that are already stale by the time it is issued.
Client reports generated from live data — minutes to produce, accurate to the last field entry.
How QBaticEPM3 resolves this
Every subcontract managed against the original scope and rate from day one — payment assessed before it is certified.
Every subcontract package in QBaticEPM3 is set up from the day of award — scope, rate, programme, and back-to-back terms all recorded in the same environment as the main contract. Progress is measured, payment claims are assessed against measured quantities, and the subcontractor's position against the main contract recovery is visible at every point. The PM never certifies a payment for scope the main contract has not recovered — because the misalignment is visible in the system before the certificate is issued.
Every subcontractor managed against committed scope — payment assessed against quantities before certification.
We prepare before we call. We will review your project management challenge and prepare a briefing focused on exactly that problem — not a generic product walkthrough.
