Why Construction Forecasting Still Happens in Spreadsheets & What to Do about It

by

Forecasting is one of the most powerful tools in construction management. From projecting costs and revenue to planning manpower and resources, forecasting helps contractors stay profitable, anticipate challenges, and keep projects on track. Yet despite its importance, forecasting remains a manual process for many contractors relying on spreadsheets even when they have ERP (enterprise-resource planning) or project management software.

The Reality of Construction Forecasting Today

forecasting

 Forecasting backlog provides insights into future workload, revenue, and cost, measured by:

  • Time-Based Backlog – The months needed to complete outstanding projects.
  • Cash-Value Backlog – The total expected revenue from these projects.
  • Dollar-Based Backlog – The total contracted work still uncompleted.

QTRLY 2025 NYS NY-45 Mag Media File

by

Dear Valued Customer,

For customers that do business in the State of New York, we have completed the programming for bulk filing of NYS 45 file. Bulk filing is required if you are submitting for 10 or more companies. This requires that you have an established Agent ID number. Also included in this email is the required set up for the Local Master files for the locals used with the State of New York.

We request that you immediately create an on-line incident if you require bulk filing so that our Software Delivery Team can contract you to send you the required programs.

For those that do not require bulk filing, we are creating a new menu option for an IDI that will create the NYS 45 file in CSV format. This IDI is not finished but we are working furiously to complete it. We will email another communication once the new menu option is ready for delivery.

The required set up in the Local Master is necessary for both Bulk and IDI/CSV filing methods.

The Local Master will now identify these locals for QUARTLY processing

Local Master              PR > Maintenance 1 > Local Master

Locals are associated to the appropriate state, but the Local Numbers are user defined. The Local Tax ID will be used to identify each of these 3 locals.  The Local Tax ID field must be exactly as displayed below.

New York City Local Tax ID:  NYC



New York Yonkers Residence Local Tax ID:  NYYR

New York Yonkers Non-Residence Local Tax ID:  NYYNR

If realize you did not update the Local Tax ID(s) before creating the file.  You can up update the fields and re-create the file.
