Abstract
An improved way of managing the labor expended on a construction project, whether a small-scale or large-scale, includes a system, program and method that will use the estimate of labor for a project as an input to the labor management system. The percent complete of the project will be a calculation of installed equipment as opposed to a perceived percent complete of the project. The calculation will be compared to the percent of labor hours used to then determine the state of the construction project. The labor management calculation will be facilitated through a user interface where the user can highlight one or more portions of the virtual project, where the one or more portions represent one or more installed units of the project, such as installed equipment.
