Construction cost monitoring - how do you do it?

We also have an Excel table with the following columns
- original planned figures
- adjusted plan due to the availability of concrete offers or invoices.
- ACTUAL (already paid)

Ha, I have that as well. Additionally, I have a column with the payment date (the bank wants that later), a column indicating which expenses I report to the bank and which I don't, and an assignment to trades (for example, roof, electrical, etc.).
Below that, the current account balance or rainy day funds, etc. are also recorded, the still expected loan disbursements, and of course ultimately the surplus or (hopefully not) shortfall of the overall project.

Would one or the other of you be willing to provide me with your Excel file? Of course without amounts etc.

Best regards, Christian

I sent you my file - it's relatively simple - with a pivot in Sheet 1. At the end, just the breakdown by category, amount, payment date, etc.
