I require the development of a sophisticated financial modelling solution for a construction company utilizing Excel. The overarching goal is to streamline cash flow forecasting and project costing processes.
Specifically, the bidder will need to create a primary cash flow workbook that dynamically links to a secondary workbook to pull through updated financial data in real-time. Visualization of cash inflows and outflows over the project timeline will be integral. In addition, a robust pricing sheet is needed with intelligent linking capabilities. It must be able to read items from a master materials list andauto-populate values throughout various sheets for crafting accurate quotes.
A further necessity is a workpack tool for drainage installation projects. This component should facilitate efficient planning and cost estimation of pipe laying, trenching and associated labour hours. Complex formulas will be required to derive material and labor costs based on supplied run lengths and installation details.
The finished product demands a high degree of usability and flexibility. Intuitive interfaces and conditional formatting throughout are important. Ultimately, the solution will aim to significantlyboost productivity for estimating, budgeting and job cost control through an integrated Excel modelling approach. Professional verification of all formulas and links will also be expected.
Fluency with Excel macros, VBA and array formulas combined with experience in the construction or project management fields would serve the bidder well in delivering this bespoke financial application successfully
