In today’s volatile construction landscape – marked by rising material costs, supply chain disruptions, and tighter margins – financial leaders need more than intuition to steer projects successfully. This guide introduces Cost Value Reconciliation (CVR) as a strategic financial tool that empowers construction businesses, offering real-time visibility into project performance.

Traditional CVR methods, often reliant on spreadsheets and manual inputs, are no longer fit for purpose. Optimising CVR into a streamlined, automated process, enables finance teams to make proactive decisions, protect margins, and improve forecasting accuracy.

Why CVR Automation Matters:

  • Tracks actual costs vs. earned value to assess profitability.
  • Highlights discrepancies early, enabling timely intervention.
  • Improves forecasting accuracy and board-level reporting.
  • Enhances collaboration across finance and delivery teams.

Gain a clear understanding of CVR fundamentals, including key metrics, and explore a step-by-step breakdown of the CVR cycle. A real-world use case illustrates how CVR helped a contractor regain budget control on a £12M commercial build.

The guide also highlights ten strategic benefits of CVR – from enhancing board-level reporting to improving collaboration between finance and operations. A comparative analysis between manual and automated CVR showcases the efficiency, scalability, and risk reduction offered by implementing ERP.

For financial leaders seeking to modernise their reporting and gain a competitive edge, this guide is a must-read. Discover how CVR can be more than just a reporting tool, providing a financial “north star” for confident, data-driven decision-making in construction.
