Site measures quantities against every BOQ item each week. Lobocon turns the measurement into earned value, progress and variance on the spot, ties it to the linked programme task, and locks the entry once the PM or QS verifies it for billing.
Planned vs Actual, Week 18
Block A superstructure, measured 22 Sep, verified 23 Sep
The problem
It is not the site's fault. It is what a spreadsheet forces a site into.
What it does
Four things the module does with one number from site.
Enter the quantity done this week against a BOQ item. Lobocon derives the cumulative quantity, this period's earned value, cumulative earned value and percent complete, and writes them back to the item. Contract quantity and rate are snapshotted on the entry, so history stays right even if the BOQ changes later.

Week 18, 15 to 21 Sep, entered by K. Otieno, Site Agent
A measurement is a claim until the PM or QS verifies it. Verified entries lock, cannot be deleted, and carry the verifier's name, time and note. That is what goes into the interim certificate.
1.1.2 Excavate exceeding 1.5 m
Week 18
Bill, section and item: budget, actual cost, variance, earned value and CPI, rolled up with progress weighted by value. Where a BOQ item is linked to a programme task, the task's recorded progress is used.
| Bill | Budget | Actual | Variance | CPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bill 1, Earthworks | 48.2M | 41.6M | +6.6M | 1.08 |
| Bill 2, Pavement | 122.9M | 118.4M | +4.5M | 1.02 |
| Bill 4, Structures | 96.4M | 104.1M | 7.7M over | 0.93 |
| Bill 7, Slope protection | 18.0M | 6.1M | not started | n/a |
Every period carries site notes and site conditions. Heavy rain on days three and four is recorded against the week it slowed, not remembered at the claims meeting.
Week 18 conditions
Entered with the measurement
