About this construction project budget spreadsheet template

This Construction Project Budget template provides a complete cost management system for building and fit-out projects, structured across five interconnected sheets. The Inputs sheet captures editable assumptions including cost packages such as site preliminaries, demolition, structure, MEP, partitions and finishes, fixtures, and external works — each with quantity, unit rate, and actual-to-date tracking. The Cost Model sheet automatically calculates base costs, escalated costs, budget allocations, and variance status for every package.

The Scenarios sheet enables sensitivity analysis across four budget scenarios — Lean, Base, Risk, and Stress — with adjustable rate factors and headroom calculations. A dedicated Dashboard sheet consolidates key metrics including remaining budget and over-budget alerts into a clear visual summary. An International Setup sheet provides guidance on currency formatting, date conventions, and local tax and accounting assumptions, making the template adaptable across jurisdictions.

Every cell, formula, and label is fully editable in WPS Office, Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers. Replace the sample project data for Riverside Office Fit-out with your own project details, adjust cost packages to match your work breakdown structure, and the linked calculations update automatically.
