−	Cost Value ~~Reconciliations~~ (CVR) ~~are carried out in order~~ to monitor and ~~measure expenditures against budgets~~ on construction projects.	+	Cost Value Reconciliation (CVR) is a crucial financial management tool used to monitor and control project finances. It involves comparing the actual costs incurred on a construction project with the value of work completed to date. This comparison helps ensure that projects remain financially viable and highlights any discrepancies between costs and revenue.

−	~~A measurement of the actual~~ costs ~~involved in a project are compared against the value of the works including profit~~ to ~~show a bottom line~~, ~~in a similar way~~ to ~~a balance sheet for a company~~.	+	Actual costs incurred might include direct costs (materials, labour, subcontractor fees, and any other expenses directly related to the construction work) and indirect costs (overheads, administrative expenses, and other costs not directly tied to specific project activities.)

−	~~They are typically used by contractors to measure profitability and are reported to the management team, usually around the time of interim valuation~~ of the ~~works~~ completed ~~to date~~, and ~~again at completion of~~ the ~~final account~~.	+	The value of work completed (value earned) might include work certified (the value of work that has been completed, inspected, and approved by the client or project manager) and work not yet certified (the value of work that has been completed but not yet certified).

−	~~They can also be used~~ to ~~inform~~ the ~~management team of the bottom line on~~ a ~~project when negotiating final accounts~~.	+	Cost vs. value compares the costs to date (the total actual costs incurred up to a specific date) and the value to date (the total value of work completed and certified up to that same date).

−	= Related articles on Designing Buildings ~~Wiki~~ =	+	By comparing costs and value, CVR helps assess the profitability of a project. This analysis can inform decision-making and adjustments to project execution strategies. CVR helps track the financial health of a project by continuously comparing costs against the value of work done. This enables early detection of cost overruns and other financial issues. Understanding the timing of costs and revenue is critical for managing cash flow. CVR provides insights into when payments are due and when revenue will be received, aiding in effective cash flow planning.
		+
		+	CVR highlights financial risks early, allowing project managers to take corrective actions to mitigate potential financial losses. Regular CVR reports provide transparency and accountability, ensuring that stakeholders are informed about the project's financial status.
		+
		+	The process of CVR might include:
		+
		+	* Gathering detailed information on costs incurred, including invoices, receipts, payroll records, and other financial documents.
		+	* Assessing the value of work completed, often through site inspections and progress reports. This might involve input from quantity surveyors and project managers.
		+	* Comparing the actual costs against the value of work completed. Analysing any discrepancies and investigate the reasons behind them.
		+	* Generating CVR reports that summarise the financial status of the project. These reports typically include key metrics such as cost to date, value to date, profit margins, and cash flow projections.
		+	* Reviewing CVR reports with project stakeholders and take necessary actions to address any issues identified. This could involve adjusting project plans, renegotiating contracts, or implementing cost-saving measures.
