Capital project management from the estimate through handover
Capital work is a promise about cost, time, and the asset you will own. Sigmaviu holds the baseline, the earned-value position, the approved changes, and the commissioning link on that project.
Owner PMOs, project controls leads, and EPCs delivering funded capital work.

What changes
01
A baseline you can defend
Import or build the WBS, store baseline dates, and compare them with current dates without overwriting the plan.
02
Changes that hit cost and time
An approved change order can update budget lines and the project end date once, not every time someone reopens it.
03
The asset at the end
Commissioning and retirement tasks on the WBS can be the lifecycle hooks for the asset record.

Distribution
How Sigmaviu handles this
Earned value
SPI, EV, and AC are available on the project. CPI shows as not applicable when actual cost is still zero, so an empty job does not look perfectly efficient.
Forecast from the plan
Tasks can be marked billable for a lookahead that is separate from invoices you have already issued.
Risk on the contingency
The register stores score, status, and approval. Communication scans can suggest risks for a person to apply.
Stage gates
Approval workflows and document risk class give you a gate record between phases.
A working sequence
1
Baseline
Lock dates and budget before the work moves.
2
Measure
Read schedule variance and earned value on the same project.
3
Change
Approve scope changes into cost and finish date.
4
Capitalize
Hand the file and the asset lifecycle to operations.
Scope
Sigmaviu is the project system of record for plan, change, and evidence. Corporate ERP capitalization and tax fixed-asset books stay in your finance system. NetSuite sync is not a live connector yet.
Questions buyers ask
Does earned value need a timesheet?
Actual cost can come from the cost you have recorded, including approved labor that has been pushed into project cost. CPI stays blank until actual cost exists.
Can one change update both budget and finish date?
Yes. Approved construction change orders can sync cost to budget items and schedule to the project end date, and they remember that the sync already ran.
How do we brief executives?
Portfolio health and project charts show budget and open risk. A daily briefing can be generated on demand. It is not sent unless you run it.
