Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein provide project efficiency tracking based on comparing estimated material items and quantities from a design in a computer-aided design (“CAD”) application to the actual purchased material items and quantities. A beacon symbol can be placed on a project drawing and include a progress ring, a materials status, work package number, and a percentage complete. The materials status can illustrate the percentage of budgeted materials that have been delivered. The progress ring can illustrate the job completion percentage. In one example, the progress ring can illustrate the percentage of budgeted labor hours that have been performed.
