Site prices: how to read and manage them
A system for site prices should reduce administrative work and increase traceability, not move the same sheets to another screen. The key is to connect budget target by chapter or line item, committed orders and contracts, incurred costs and invoices, and production or recognized progress within the context of each project.
One source of truth for site prices
For site prices, budget target by chapter or line item, committed orders and contracts, and incurred costs and invoices should not live as independent references. Bloqbase allows you to link that data to the same project, responsible party, date, and status so that the team reviews context without rebuilding it before each meeting.
Follow the process, not just the final document
The site prices workflow can follow: set the economic reference, record commitments before receiving the invoice, assign costs to the correct project and code, and compare actual and forecast. Digitalizing only the final output leaves out precisely the steps where discrepancies, waits, and approvals appear; the pilot should verify traceability from entry to closure.
Operational exceptions visible
In site prices, it is useful to review budget target, committed cost, actual or incurred cost, and estimated pending cost from the project context. The value is not in adding charts, but in detecting what data needs attention and opening the record that explains why it is out of condition.
Less double entry between field and office
A useful implementation of site prices must reduce copies between sheets, searches for the correct version, and rewriting data to prepare reports. If the team continues feeding multiple systems with the same reference, digitalization has simply moved the friction.
History to review changes
When a discrepancy in site prices appears, it is useful to know the origin of the data, when it changed, and what responsible party was involved. Bloqbase can preserve those relationships within the project while technical, contractual, or tax judgment remains in the hands of the responsible professionals.
Implementation on a real project
To evaluate site prices, it is more useful to go through a real process than to count features in a demo. Loading a project, defining responsible parties and statuses, and solving an exception from start to finish allows you to verify adoption, traceability, and administrative burden.
Before and after
Frequently asked questions
What should software for site prices solve?
It should connect budget target by chapter or line item, committed orders and contracts, incurred costs and invoices, and production or recognized progress, and allow you to review budget target, committed cost, and actual or incurred cost without rebuilding information from emails, chats, and separate sheets.
Do all Excel files need to be replaced to start with site prices?
No. With site prices it is usually safer to choose a specific problem first, set the source of truth, and eliminate double entry for that workflow before expanding the scope.
What should be tested in a site prices pilot?
A real project and a complete case: entry, responsible party, status change, evidence, exception, and closure. The site prices pilot must demonstrate traceability and adoption, not just an interface.
Does Bloqbase automatically decide on site prices?
No. Bloqbase organizes information and statuses of site prices; technical, contractual, preventive, or tax approvals continue to correspond to the competent people.
How to avoid duplicates when digitalizing site prices?
By defining the source of truth for each data point, reusing existing information, and linking site price records to their project, activity, line item, supplier, or source document.
