It helps with project management by listing the project\u2019s scope and the costs associated with those task needed to deliver the project successfully. It details the entire construction sum to various portions of the contractor\u2019s work as detailed in the schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The schedule of values is an itemized list of all the project activities. The value in this case are is the cost of each of those activities or tasks. The total value when everything is added up on the schedule of values should equal the agreed-upon amount paid to the contractor as stated in the project contract.<\/p>\n<div class=\"template-download-holder\">\n\t<div class=\"template-download-image-holder\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Schedule-of-values-template.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Schedule-of-values-template.jpg 1600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Schedule-of-values-template-600x338.jpg 600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Schedule-of-values-template-300x169.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Schedule-of-values-template-768x432.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Schedule-of-values-template-1536x864.jpg 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Schedule-of-values-template-450x253.jpg 450w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Schedule-of-values-template-384x216.jpg 384w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Schedule-of-values-template-800x451.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\t<\/div><p class=\"intro\">Get your free<\/p>\n<h3>Schedule Of Values Template<\/h3>\n<p class=\"subtitle\">\n\tUse this free Schedule Of Values Template  for Excel to manage your projects better.<\/p>\n\t\t<button type=\"button\" data-file-id=\"69142\" data-categoryname=\"In blog post\" class=\"button green template-lightbox-trigger-69142\">Download Excel File<\/button>\n\t<\/div> \n\n<p>We\u2019ll get into the benefits of a schedule of values in a moment, but the use of this <a href=\"\/blog\/construction-documents\">construction document<\/a> helps with financial control, payment management, project monitoring and documentation throughout the project.

There are complicated projects and the contractors use the schedule of values to help stay on budget and not eat into their profit margin.<\/p>\n<p>Contractor profits are dependent on keeping to the budget, which is as accurate a forecast of project cost as they can estimate. There&#8217;s always a bit of cushion worked into the budget, but the more a project goes over budget, the less a contractor is going to make.<\/p>\n<p>The schedule of values helps them track the <a href=\"\/blog\/construction-budget-quick-guide\">construction budget<\/a> and costs as well as manage their payment application as they\u2019re paid in part after finishing each component of the larger project. This also helps to keep cash flow in check and makes sure there are funds available.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of Creating a Schedule of Values<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve already outlined some of the benefits of using a schedule of values in terms of <a href=\"\/blog\/construction-cost-management\">construction cost management<\/a>. Let\u2019s go into those in more detail. For example, in terms of payment management, the schedule of values is used to request and receive payments for the work contractors complete. This is also called progress billing or payment applications. Therefore, contractors can track their payments and make sure they\u2019re being fairly compensated.<\/p>\n<p>The schedule of values can also be used to track progress in the project by monitoring the actual progress against the planned progress. By looking at what was completed compared to what was scheduled, contractors can identify any delays and work to resolve them to get back on track. This is true for project owners as well.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/project-financial-management\">financial planning<\/a> and cash flow management. Here, the schedule of values helps both project owners and contractors. For the former, it provides insights into the expected billing for each period, which helps with budgeting and management of high-level finances. For the latter, contractors can better manage their cash flow by anticipating and planning the predetermined payment timelines.<\/p>\n<a class=\"trapdoor\" href=\"https:\/\/learn.projectmanager.com\/construction-management-ebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-79091 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2026_construction_ebook_banner-ad.jpg\" alt=\"2026 construction eBook ad\" width=\"2021\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2026_construction_ebook_banner-ad.jpg 2021w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2026_construction_ebook_banner-ad-600x155.jpg 600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2026_construction_ebook_banner-ad-1600x412.jpg 1600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2026_construction_ebook_banner-ad-300x77.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2026_construction_ebook_banner-ad-768x198.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2026_construction_ebook_banner-ad-1536x396.jpg 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2026_construction_ebook_banner-ad-450x116.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2021px) 100vw, 2021px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>There are even benefits in terms of resource and manpower management. By understanding the progress of the project, contractors can estimate the resource requirements for each item and project phase. They can determine the right level of resources needed because the schedule of values helps them understand the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/project-scope\">project scope.<\/a> This allows contractors to create project schedules that allocate resources when they\u2019re needed.<\/p>\n<p>The schedule of values breaks the scope of the project down clearly and transparently and since it\u2019s been agreed upon by all parties, it acts as both conflict resolution and contractual compliance. It also provides a structured framework for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/a-quick-guide-to-change-orders\">change order management<\/a>, tracking and communicating any modifications to the project. Finally, the schedule of values can be used for cost control by anticipating costs for each work item so contractors can monitor and manage their expenses.<\/p>\n<h2>Schedule of Values Template<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of work involved in creating a schedule of values, which is why we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/templates\/schedule-of-values-template\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free schedule of values template for Excel<\/a> to help you make one.

Let\u2019s outline those parts that make a thorough schedule of values.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>General project information:<\/strong> Start with high-level information, such as the name of the project, project manager, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Work description:<\/strong> Detail the work that needs to be done to complete the project, including the start and end dates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scheduled value:<\/strong> Add the cost for each activity listed above in the work description.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Previously completed work:<\/strong> Note the work that was completed, including the costs associated with it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Work completed on this payment period:<\/strong> Note the work and costs for work completed over the current payment period.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Value of stored materials:<\/strong> Calculate the cost of the materials that have been purchased but not yet used in the project.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total value of materials to date (completed work materials + stored materials):<\/strong> This is the total dollar amount for the work that was completed and the materials that have been stored for each work task.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Work percent complete:<\/strong> This is the percentage of work that&#8217;s been completed for each line item or task. This shows your progress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Balance to finish:<\/strong> How much work is remaining until the task is done.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Retainage:<\/strong> In construction, the term <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/what-is-retainage-in-construction\">retainage<\/a> refers to a portion of funds that are withheld until a contractor has completed their work, usually five to 10 percent of the total amount.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Schedule of Values Example<\/h2>\n<p>To better understand the process of a schedule of values, let\u2019s explore how to make one. You\u2019ll start by collecting the necessary project information. Then identify the different parts of the project that need to be tracked and billed, such as labor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/bill-of-materials\">materials<\/a>, equipment rentals, subcontractor services, etc.<\/p>\n<p>For each component, note the quantity or amount of work that needs to be done. Then determine the unit price or rate for each component. Now, multiply the quantity by the unit price for each component to calculate the value of each item.<\/p>\n<p>Add all the subtotals to figure out the total value of the schedule of values. This will be the agreed-upon amount that&#8217;s billed for the project. You should also consider any taxes or markups to come to a more accurate final invoice amount.<\/p>\n<h2>Construction Project Management Templates<\/h2>\n<p>The schedule of values is only one of the free templates available to download from our site. We have dozens of free <a href=\"\/pm-templates\">project management templates<\/a> for Excel and Word that cover all aspects of a project\u2019s life cycle.

But those are only a few of our powerful features.<\/p>\n<h3>Use Timesheets to Manage Labor Costs<\/h3>\n<p>One way to eat into your profit margin is by ignoring your labor costs. If you want to stay on budget you need to track human and nonhuman resources. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/guides\/gantt-chart\">Gantt chart<\/a> can help with both and so can our secure timesheets. They streamline the payroll process but also give you a live window into how much you\u2019re spending on each team member and how far they are in completing their tasks.
