Transparent Lump Sum

Transparent Lump Sum brings real-time visibility, accountability, and control to fixed-price contractor work—unifying Lump Sum and Time and Material contracts in one system.

 




Lump Sum Promises Simplicity—But Often Hides Risk

Lump Sum contracts are supposed to make life easier. One price, one scope—no surprises.

But in reality, Lump Sum often means losing visibility. Work is completed behind the scenes. Payments are based on assumptions. Change orders go unchallenged. And field teams are left with no way to see what’s really happening until it’s too late.

Transparent Lump Sum changes that.

Built into myTrack, it brings real-time progress tracking, cost control, and milestone validation to fixed-price work—without changing your contracting model.

Why Track Lump Sum?

Even when the price is fixed, the risks aren’t.

  • Double Billing & Hidden Charges: Labor is often billed to both Lump Sum and T&M contracts—resulting in duplicate charges that go undetected without full visibility.
  • Inflated Change Orders: Additional costs may be approved with limited documentation or validation.
  • Buried Overhead and Risk Premiums: Risk premiums are built into every Lump Sum bid, but without transparency, it’s challenging to know if they’re fair or excessive.
  • Premature Milestone Payments: Payments may be triggered before corresponding progress is verified, introducing financial and schedule risks.
  • Compromised Safety Oversight: Fatigue risk and crew overload go unnoticed without real-time labor tracking
  • Transform the Way You Manage Lump Sum Projects

    Transparent Lump Sum exposes what traditional tracking methods can't—giving you the visibility to monitor performance, validate spend, and protect your budget.
