Thin margins, volatile prices, and unpredictable schedules — financial planning in construction continues to be a balancing act between efficiency and uncertainty. As construction organizations finalize their 2026 budgets, the industry is navigating:
- Material cost volatility eroding profit even after contracts are signed
- Labor scarcity and wage inflation tightening bid competitiveness
- Variance blind spots that lead to late discovery of overruns
- Disconnected spreadsheets delaying insights when they matter most
In a market that moves this fast, waiting weeks to spot overruns is no longer sustainable.
From Reactive to Proactive: Agile FP&A for Construction
Real-time project cost visibility has become a strategic necessity. That’s why leading construction and homebuilding companies are turning to Workday Adaptive Planning — a more dynamic approach to project revenue forecasting, job cost tracking, and scenario modeling.
With Adaptive Planning, finance and project leaders can:
- Automatically update Estimate at Completion (EAC)
- Quickly assess margin impact from labor and material pricing changes
- Model resource capacity amid market uncertainty
- React faster to change orders with real-time what-if analysis
- Integrate operational metrics with finance for better project decisions
You’re not just reacting to overruns — you’re preventing them.
What Success Looks Like: Berks Homes
Berks Homes, a rapidly growing homebuilder in Eastern Pennsylvania, needed a scalable financial planning solution that united finance and operations.
Before Workday Adaptive Planning:
- Reports required manual data pulls from multiple systems
- Up to 15 hours of effort per reporting cycle
- No real-time cash flow visibility
After implementing with Revelwood:
- Reporting time dropped to just 4 hours
- Forecast accuracy improved
- Leadership gained the insights needed to support growth
“Revelwood was the perfect partner for us… They shared their knowledge with us, leaving us in great shape to use Workday Adaptive Planning on our own.”
— Joe Campbell, Controller, Berks Homes
This is what smarter planning unlocks.
