The Customer issues an MS Project tender template with WBS and resources. Bidders assign resources and durations, producing price, cost curve and cash-flow budget without separating estimate from schedule.
The Customer has already defined the mandatory structure and resource library. The bidder demonstrates that its offer is executable.
There is no defensible link between the quoted price, the resources and the promised completion date.
A contractor wins on price and only after funding discovers shortages of labour, equipment and working capital.
Funding needs become visible only after work begins, when the cash gap is already forming.
The methodology moves executability testing into the tender, before contract signature and advance funding.
The winning model is fixed by version, checksum and signed exports. It governs time, resources, cost, cost curve and cash-flow budget throughout the contract.
Tender model— one commercial-offer format. The Customer compares not only total price but also resources, critical path and peak funding requirement.
Contract model— baseline, weekly assignments, physical actuals, completion forecast, cost curve and cash-flow budget in one WBS.
The contract identifies file name, MS Project version, date, checksum, signed exports and document priority. Changes require a registered request assessing time, cost, resources and cash flow.
WBS, quantities, calendars, resources, coding rules and cash-flow structure.
Resource and duration assignment; price, cost curve and funding calculation.
Critical path, resource peaks, negative margin and cash gaps are tested before award.
The agreed UDM becomes a contract schedule and the source for weekly plans, actuals and payment control.
WBS, activities, dependencies, calendars, baseline and current dates.
Crews, equipment, materials, productivity and assignment rules.
Who may change baseline, price, resources and cash flow, and how.
Periods, budget lines, payees, limits and projected balance by WBS.
The Planning Engineer, employed by the Customer or Technical Customer, issues the plan and confirms physical quantities.
PDF/XLSX, version register, checksum and electronic approval rules.
Bring one tender or contract. We will identify the cash-gap point before it becomes a work stoppage and an advance-recovery dispute.
