Construction site margin: what it is, how to calculate and protect it | archim

What is Construction site margin?

The construction site margin is the difference between a project's revenues and the direct costs incurred to carry it out, expressed in absolute value or as a percentage.

In practice

• •Direct costs include labour, materials, equipment, subcontractors and specific overheads.
• •The percentage margin is calculated by dividing the absolute margin by revenues.
• •Without up-to-date data the margin only emerges at project close, when it is too late.

How archim handles it

• •Collects hours, materials, DDTs and invoices directly on the project.
• •Updates costs and revenues in real time, project by project.
• •Shows you which projects are profitable and which are heading for a loss.
