Construction quantity measurements
Capture measured work by cost group, item, quantity, unit, date and recorder as a structured basis for progress billing.
Construction quantity measurements: how it works in Home Builder Software
Progress billing stands or falls on what was actually measured on site. Measurements turn square meters of plaster or meters of cable into named items under a DIN 276 cost group, each with its quantity, unit, date and the person who took it. The notebook in the van and the spreadsheet on somebody’s laptop stop being the only proof of what the crew put in place.
Entry happens on one line above the table: cost group, item, quantity to three decimals, unit, an optional note and a date that starts on today. Units cover meters, square meters, cubic meters, pieces, kilograms and lump sums. Quantities must be greater than zero. The recorder is taken from the signed-in account, never from the form, and new lines appear at the top of the project list.
The status bar under the table counts the lines and totals the quantity per unit, and quantities in different units are never added into one meaningless number. Because each line keeps its cost group, its date and its author, the interim invoice has a basis somebody can point at when the owner questions a position. A joint measurement with the subcontractor can be noted on the line it belongs to.
Construction quantity measurements in the daily routine
Measurements belong to the project, so the page opens from the project file. The crew or the site manager records what was measured the same day, one line per position, while the wall is still open and the tape is still out. The office reads the running totals per unit when the interim invoice is due and bills against them. Anything disputed later can be traced to a date, a unit and a name.
