  • Abstract:
  • The construction industry often grapples with significant cost and time variances that can undermine project success. This study aims to streamline workflow and enhance visual management in construction projects by developing specialized software. The primary objective is to facilitate accurate tracking and reporting of cost and time variances through a systematic approach. Software is designed to capture detailed information about activities and sub-activities within construction projects by inputting essential project data; the software generates comprehensive reports highlighting total cost and time variances. These reports enable project managers to identify the occurrence and causes of variances promptly, thereby allowing for more informed decision-making and effective corrective actions through the application of this software in construction projects, we observed a marked improvement in the accuracy and efficiency of variance reporting. The software's ability to provide real-time insights into project performance proves to be a valuable tool in mitigating risks associated with cost overruns and schedule delays. This research underscores the potential of integrating advanced software solutions into project and construction management practices to achieve more streamlined and visually manageable workflows.
