Headline Metrics

Labor hours bid - The amount of hours initially expected to complete the job.

Projected hours at completion - The amount of hours needed to complete the job after factoring in change orders and labor hour adjustments.

Hours used to date - The amount of labor hours scheduled in RIVET through yesterday. 

Actual labor hours - If there is a discrepancy since the last time RIVET data was updated, updating the actual labor hours will keep reporting accurate. 

Forecasted hours to date - How many hours had been forecasted on this job through yesterday.

Hours to completion - Remaining hours until the bid or projection at end number is reached. The formula to calculate hours to completion is as follows:
Labor Hours Bid - Hours used to date = Hours to completion.

Remaining forecasted hours - How many forecasted hours are left in the plan until the plan is completed.

Blended Rate - Each workers hourly labor rate added together and divided by the number of workers scheduled on the job this week.
