For universities. Several buildings, one capital program, one ledger per GMP.
A research building, a residence hall and a stadium renovation, each on its own GMP with its own contractor, all reported to the same trustees on the same day. The capital projects office needs one screen and one report format.
The screen universities open first, as it renders in the product. Fictional project.
Where the numbers come from today.
University capital programs run several GMP contracts at once, often with different construction managers, different contract forms and different contingency structures. The facilities planning office reads each contractor's report in that contractor's format, then normalizes them into one trustee packet by hand.
The product keeps one ledger per project, with the baseline recording each contract's own terms, and generates one report per project in one fixed format. The portfolio view shows the program: which funds are ahead of the work, which items are unclassified, which deadlines are inside a week.
Allowances carried against actuals on a research building: the bullet chart per allowance.
Four things that change for universities.
One baseline per contract, with its own terms
Each GMP is frozen and versioned with its own fee basis, shared savings split, contingency structure and notice periods. A program with three contract forms shows three baselines, each read against its own rules, and one report format across all three.
The program on one screen
Combined GMP, projects with funds ahead of the work, open flags, and reports due. Each project opens to its own dashboard. The flag feed across the program is what the director reads on Monday morning.
Allowances on research buildings
Lab casework, fume hoods, vivarium finishes and equipment connections are carried as allowances at GMP on most research buildings. The register tracks each one with its decision deadline and its actual, and the confidence band reflects how complete the design was when the number was set.
Shared savings returned to the program
Many public university agreements return all unused contingency and buyout savings to the owner. The module records that as a 100 to 0 split and projects the figure that returns to the program at closeout, with the open items shown either way.
Questions universities ask
Can the system office see every campus?
If each campus grants it. Access is scoped per project, and a system office can hold a read only grant on every project in the program.
How do design and construction staff share it?
Each person gets a role on each project: full, read only, or summary. Unlimited users on every plan, because a capital program has many readers.
Does it handle phased GMPs?
Yes. Each phase can be its own baseline version or its own project, whichever matches the contract. The anticipated final cost reads across versions.
