How to complete unit price analysis
- 01
Understand the objective
A construction budget is the project's cost structure: it organizes chapters, sections, categories, subcategories and line items with quantities, units and prices. In Perfour, that structure stays alive during execution. This guide focuses on use inputs and unit price analyses.
- 02
Prepare unit price analysis
Define the budget name, type, currency and structure. For each line item, enter code, description, unit, quantity and unit price; add inputs or a unit price analysis when required.
- 03
Complete the workflow in Perfour
Create or import the budget, review its calculation, submit it and control transitions between draft, under review, approved, rejected and closed. Totals roll up from line items to every parent level. Catalogs let teams reuse inputs and unit price compositions with yield and price detail.
- 04
Review relationships and traceability
Budget line items can provide context to purchase orders, expenses, certificates, payments, inventory and tasks. This makes planned, committed, actual, certified and paid cost comparable. Before approval, verify codes, units, quantities, prices, taxes and percentages. Use notes, statuses and exports to preserve a defensible version for clients, leadership and finance.
