The Contractor / Module 13
Cash flow, P&L & the leak register
Projected margin from day one — contract value against cost on the record and committed work orders — with every rupee escaping between the ledgers named, priced and put on a register. Nothing on the page is typed there; every figure derives from certificates, bills and logs the platform already keeps honest.
- Director
- QS
- Accounts
Before the quarter ends. A margin discovered at final account was lost months earlier — in a hire bill nobody reconciled, a subcontract rate above the main-contract rate, certified money nobody chased. This page prices those while they are still decisions, not history.
What it holds
Projected P&L, formula stated
Contract value against cost on the record and committed work orders — the projection is an equation the page prints, never a number somebody typed into a box.
Cash by month
Collections in; certified sub-RA bills, approved hire bills and approved expenses out — net and cumulative per month, with certified-but-uncollected carried as its own line.
The leak register
Hire hours billed beyond the usage log, owned plant standing idle, subcontract rates above the main-contract rate they discharge, certified money not collected, expense claims going stale — each priced from its own ledger, with the evidence named.
Margin on work done
Certified gross against cost on the record — the percentage a director actually asks for, computed the same way every time.
What it produces
- Projected margin with its arithmetic on the page
- A priced leak register — evidence, not estimates
- Monthly cash position, net and cumulative
