Preparing the budget for a project is one of the major processes at the initiation phase, which aims to identify, estimate and justify the costs necessary to perform project goals and activities. This process results in developing a budget sheet which is a programme and fiscal document for managing project expenditure, performance and funds allocation. In this quick guide we’re going to describe how to prepare a project budget in three generic steps
it differs from the point of view you analyze whether you are the owner or the contractor
as a client you will focus on whether the project is feasible or no, the cash flow availability and the revenue.
as a contractor you will get more detailed into the analysis of cost , the tender specs, the client reputation and your financial capabilities.
