Equipment Cost

The 'Equipment Cost' interface shows the cost incurred by the deployment of various equipment and heavy machinery for the tasks. For each task, the expenses are calculated based on the equipment schedule, equipment deployment, and per day running cost of the equipment for each task. 

• The usage data are fetched from the daily field records provided by the foremen.
• The per-day cost data are fetched from the equipment records.

The system decrements the expense incurred every day from the total equipment cost estimate and shows the remaining amount for each task as per your overall project estimate. This helps you monitor the variance of the actual expenses from the estimated cost and plan the future costs to complete the tasks within the budget. The details are used for various statistics and key performance indicators, displayed on the dashboards and various reports.
