Track Building Costs: worked example
One week includes KSh 35,000 for materials, KSh 12,000 for labour and KSh 3,000 for transport. Record three entries with their evidence. The weekly total is KSh 50,000, and each cost remains traceable to its purpose.
Check and keep your records
Review your record before relying on a total. Check dates, unit or project names, amounts and supporting references. Correct errors with a dated note so the reason for a change remains clear. Keep an original copy of the downloaded files, work on a separate copy and back up the latest version after important updates. Use fictional details while learning the layout. Before buying, review the toolkit page to confirm the exact files included; this guide explains a workflow and does not promise a separate free download.
Amounts in this example are illustrative. Adapt the record to your actual property or project, and ask a qualified professional where technical or legal advice is needed.
