The Forecast tool in Buildr provides you with a high-level overview of your forecasted revenue. The forecasts of all projects with a Start Date, End Date, and Contract Value will roll up into this overview. To begin, navigate to Insights: Forecast. Important to note - there are 3 drop-down menus at the top of the forecasting tool:
  1. Actual vs. Weighted Revenue - Assuming all revenue is won vs. calculating revenue multiplied by your win probability.
  2. Revenue vs. Profit projections - Presents projections in total project revenue vs profit.
  3. Display Options - View monthly / quarterly / yearly summary columns.
When changed, these drop-downs will populate your forecast with accurate preconstruction financials based on the information in your projects.
