Creating a budget in PROAD Software is all about gathering your basic time and purchase cost information as a basis for creating a client quote or proposal.

When creating a budget for a specific project or campaign you’ll need to have all the information to hand that will form the basis of the budget. Some clients may be on a slightly different rate, different projects may require different levels of staff at varying hourly rates or, quite simply, the complexity of all the different elements need to be put together accurately. PROAD Software gives you the facility to put comprehensive budgets together quickly and accurately.

Further to this there are very specific benefits of using the system, these are:

- Create templates for standard jobs
- Accurately track actual costs against budgeted costs
- Highlight internal and external costs, time costs and material costs
- Automatically include mark-ups specific to each client on the different elements of the project
- View the profit margin on each part of the project
- The budget system links directly into the quoting system which ensure errors or omissions are not made
- Add and store separate supplier quotes and prices where needed
