Projects and investment planning
Capital work and the money behind it. Projects run a lifecycle from inception through construction to closed, with RAG, budget, and completion tracking; multi-year capital and revenue budgets hold allocation against spend with approval status; and whole life cost comparisons put repair against replace over 20 to 40 year horizons using HM Treasury Green Book net present value calculations, as named scenarios with option labelling.

How are capital projects tracked?
On a project register running a lifecycle of inception, feasibility, design, tender, construction, handover, and closed, with type, RAG, project manager, budget, percentage complete, and end date. The portfolio position shows live projects, committed budget, RAG distribution, and upcoming milestones.
How does budget planning work?
Multi-year budgets, capital and revenue, hold allocation against spend, with remaining balance, approval status, and budget against actual charting.
How do you compare repairing an asset with replacing it?
With whole life cost comparisons over 20 to 40 year horizons, using HM Treasury Green Book net present value calculations: named scenarios with total NPV, annualised cost, and option labelling, so the repair against replace decision is made on the whole life of the asset, not the year's invoice.
The condition data these decisions draw on is held in Asset, condition and maintenance. Asset, condition and maintenance
