The Portfolio Budget Details screen offers a comprehensive, centralized view of all budgets for your currently managed projects. This consolidated view includes both the original (baseline) budget line items and any change orders (COs) added to each project. For change orders that involve multiple contractor types and GC management fees, each contractor's work estimate is presented as a separate line item, ensuring complete financial transparency.
- General Contractors - Get full visibility into the budgets across all projects, facilitating efficient oversight and streamlined management.
