What is in this workbook?
This workbook has three sheets: Construction Budget Dashboard, Construction Operating Budget, and Setup. Construction Budget Dashboard is the quick-review surface, Construction Operating Budget is the editable working log, and Setup holds supporting inputs, reusable context, or working rules.
How the workflow and formulas work
Use Construction Operating Budget for budget line, job or cost driver, revenue-or-expense type, owner, planned amount, actual amount, variance, signed actual, and cadence; use Setup for planning assumptions, review cadence, and safety rules. Construction Operating Budget calculates favorable variance differently for revenue and expense rows, and converts actual revenue to a positive signed amount and actual expense to a negative one. Construction Budget Dashboard links planned net, actual net, favorable variance, and Review counts.
How to use it in Griddy
Replace the sample values before sharing, then review the calculated Construction Budget Dashboard fields after editing the working log. The workbook includes a dropdown validation resource and a conditional-formatting resource for the relevant review or status fields.
