Schedule of Values

The Schedule of Values (SOV) is an essential tool in construction project management, serving as a detailed document that outlines the entire scope of work for a project. It breaks down the total contract value into individual work elements, providing a clear and organized view of all components involved. Each line item in the SOV corresponds to specific tasks or phases of the project, allowing for precise tracking of costs and progress. This breakdown is not only crucial for maintaining financial transparency but also plays a pivotal role in ensuring that billing is accurate and aligned with the work completed. By utilizing a well-structured Schedule of Values, project managers can effectively manage cash flow, reduce the risk of disputes, and maintain control over project finances from start to finish.

Key Features

• Detailed Breakdown: The SOV in Cloud PM allows you to list all the work items with their corresponding values, ensuring that every aspect of the project is accounted for.
• Accurate Billing: Link your SOV directly with payment applications, ensuring that billing is always accurate and up-to-date.
• Progress Tracking: Track the percentage of work completed for each item on the SOV, helping you maintain an accurate overview of project progress.
• Flexible Presentation Options: You can choose to display Products and Services individually or organize them into Groups and QuickBooks Bundles. When utilizing Groups and Bundles, the individual line items and costs are automatically hidden from the printed Schedule of Values, offering a streamlined document that suits the specific presentation needs of your project or client.
• Integration with Other Modules: Seamlessly connect your SOV with other features such as Change Orders and RFIs to maintain consistency across all project documentation.

Best Practices

• Regular Updates: Ensure that your SOV is updated regularly to reflect the current status of the project.
