Scenario Planning Without the Guesswork
Megan Carter, TX
This template made low, base, and high cases easy to compare, so I stopped rebuilding assumptions in three different places. It saved me hours and gave us a clean view for our planning call.
Safer Formulas, Cleaner Models
Daniel Brooks, CA
I was worried one bad formula would throw off the whole file, but the structure kept everything organized and easy to check. I finished the model faster and caught issues before they reached the review meeting.
Clearer Investor Materials
Priya Shah, NY
I didn’t know which outputs investors would expect, and this template gave me the right structure right away. It helped me prepare a cleaner package and book a follow-up meeting with a lender sooner than I expected.
Model review
What is the financial model of a construction company?
It is an editable five-year Excel and Google Sheets workbook that models clients' revenue in structural engineering and produces financial statements, scenarios and management reports.
Use the model to plan how acquired civil engineering clients, maintained service cohorts, billable hours and hourly rates translate into revenue, costs, cash flow and profitability over time.
The editable operational assumptions provide monthly calculations which consist of annual reviews, low/basic/high level cases, financial statements and management reports.
Built around a cohort of clientsCustomer life expectancy, billable hours and hourly rates form the revenue, while each service cohort acquired remains active.
customer-cohority revenue engine
How is the revenue of a construction company calculated in the model?
Marketing costs and CAC create new customers, retained service cohorts determine active customers, and billable hours multiplied by hourly rates produce monthly revenue.
01
Get customers
New customers is equal to monthly marketing expenses divided by customer acquisition costs.
02
Department and maintenance
New customers are assigned to different service levels and retained by each customer-defined lifetime level.
03
Follow active clients
Initial customers plus each still active cohort identify active customers at the monthly level.
04
Building Hours
Active customers are multiplied by the average billing hours for each active customer each month.
05
Calculation of revenue
The invoicing time is multiplied by the hourly rate and the revenue is then aggregated at each level and month.
How to set up a revenue for a construction company?
The revenue article converts marketing expenditure, CAC, service allocation, customer life, billable hours and hourly rates into a monthly cohort-based forecast.
Revenue
In the revenue view, acquisition forecasts, customer lifetime, active customers, billable hours and hourly indicators are displayed.
02 / COGS & OPEX
How are the operating expenses planned?
The COGS & OPEX section separates direct, variable and fixed expenditure so that the operational assumptions flow into monthly profitability and cash planning.
COGS & OPEX

03 / Scenarios
What changes on a case-by-case basis?

Scenarios
The scenarios show plans for low, basic and high revenue paths and key profitability measures.
04 / Dashboard
What Does the Dashboard Bring Together?
Dashboard combines scenario controls, underlying finances, the revenue mix, profitability, cash flow and return charts in one management view.
Dashboard
The Dashboard consolidates the assumptions of selected cases, financial summaries, the mix of revenue, cash flow and return-oriented charts.

Model ready
It fits perfectly
You're gaining customers by betting on marketing expenses and customer acquisition costs.
You're modeling service levels with customer life and customer cohort retention.
Your revenue depends on active customers, billable hours and hourly rates depending on the level of service.
You need five-year scenarios, basic financial statements and management reports.
Order structure
Think about the model
Your revenue depends mainly on fixed project fees, milestone billing or reservations instead of billable hours.
You need project inventories per project, mileage schedules, or detailed calculations of engineering resource utilization.
Your operating schedules are vastly different from your client cohorts and service levels.
You need reporting structures beyond the template financial statements and the management vision.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
