Rivena Projects imports the price schedule and bill of quantities from Excel, costs each rate with its price build-up and derives the execution budget from it. The project is then run day to day: tasks, planned hours, time logged by your teams and real margin, calculated at the hourly cost frozen when the time is entered.

Cost and budget
Rivena Projects replaces the costing workbooks used for works contracts: the price schedule and bill of quantities are imported, every rate is backed by its price build-up, and the execution budget follows directly from the costing.
The price schedule and bill of quantities are imported from an Excel workbook (.xlsx or .xlsb), or pasted straight from Excel.
Every unit rate is backed by its build-up: labour, equipment, fuel, supplies and subcontracting, down to the direct cost.
The costing table takes every line of the price schedule; the summary totals the costing, just as your workbook does.
The budget follows from the costing: purchases, subcontracting, machine hours and fuel, labour, and a forecast revenue schedule.
Draft, submitted, approved, archived. An approved version is never edited: any change creates a new version. Versions can be compared with each other, and the costing with the budget.
Amounts are calculated with exact decimal arithmetic, to the centime, and every change is written to an audit log where nothing is ever deleted.
Run the project
Once the project is under way, everyone logs time against its tasks, purchases and expenses are charged to it, and the margin updates with every entry.
Each project is linked to a client and, where relevant, to a sales order or a contract, with its start, end and due dates.
In preparation, in progress, on hold, completed or cancelled: the state of every project is clear at a glance.
A task list with planned hours, a billable flag, and what is done or still to do.
Weekly timesheets that everyone can also fill in from their phone.
Each project carries its sold amount and its planned workload in hours. An alert appears as soon as time spent exceeds the planned hours, and each task shows hours spent against hours planned.
Bill at a fixed price or on time spent: billable time not yet invoiced becomes a draft invoice in one click, and the sales order’s invoicing progress stays visible.

FAQ
Yes, for the price schedule and bill of quantities: they are imported from an .xlsx or .xlsb file, or pasted from Excel. When we start, we take one of your workbooks and check with you that the amounts match to the centime.
An approved version is never edited. Any change creates a new version, which you compare with the previous one; every change stays recorded in the audit log.
Start from expected revenue: the fixed price sold, or billable time at the hourly rate. Subtract time spent, valued at the hourly cost frozen at entry, then the supplier invoices and expense claims charged to the project. An alert appears as soon as time spent exceeds the planned hours.
Yes. Weekly timesheets can be filled in from a phone just as well as from a computer.
Yes. A project is billed at a fixed price or on time spent; billable time not yet invoiced becomes a draft invoice in one click.
No: clock-in by app or facial recognition, leave and absences belong to Rivena HR. Rivena Projects records the time spent on tasks, which feeds into the margin calculation.
No. Rivena ERP can be taken as a whole or module by module. We agree the starting scope with you, then add other modules when you need them.
