Turn earned value metricsinto project intelligence.
Controls Star brings earned value, cost, schedule and productivity performance together so construction teams can quickly understand project health, identify emerging issues and focus on what matters next.
Know whether the project is actually performing to plan.
Earned Value Management combines scope, schedule and cost performance so teams can see whether the work is progressing as expected. On a construction project, that comes down to a handful of practical questions:
- · Are we earning progress at the rate we planned?
- · Are we spending more than the value of the work completed?
- · Is schedule performance deteriorating?
- · What is the likely cost at completion?
- · Where is project performance beginning to slip?
Earned value metrics, computed for you.
Cost efficiency relative to the value of work earned so far — a quick read on whether the budget is delivering the progress it should.
Schedule performance relative to planned work — how far ahead or behind the plan the project is trending.
Cost performance expressed in absolute currency terms — earned value minus actual cost, at a glance.
Schedule performance expressed in earned-value terms — earned value minus planned value for the period reported.
The approved project budget basis. Controls Star anchors performance and forecasting against the BAC you upload.
Forecasted total cost based on current performance — an early read on where the project is likely to land.
Expected remaining cost from the current data date to completion — the runway still needed.
Forecasted difference between BAC and EAC — how far the project is expected to end from the approved budget.
See the story behind the metrics.
A CPI or SPI number on its own is not enough. Controls Star surrounds each metric with the context project teams actually need — so the number leads to a decision, not just a data point.

Planned, earned, spent and baseline curves drawn together — so it is easy to see whether performance is improving, deteriorating or diverging from plan across the reporting cadence.
Move from metrics to action.
Controls Star uses your project performance data to generate an executive summary, key findings and recommended focus areas — so project-controls teams spend less time assembling the story and more time deciding what to do about it. It is decision support for the people running the project, not a replacement for their judgment.
Three steps, one project performance picture.
Upload project performance data
Excel or CSV progress data. Attach a Primavera P6 XER when schedule context is needed — file-based analysis, not a live P6 connection.
Calculate and visualize performance
EVM metrics, cost, schedule, productivity, S-curves and project health surfaced in one place, computed from the data you provide.
Understand where to focus
Trends, findings, recommendations, discipline performance, critical and driving paths, and an executive summary — all in one cycle.
Built for teams responsible for project performance.
The people responsible for understanding cost and schedule performance and communicating it to the wider project — the ones expected to know where the project is and where it is going next.
Earned value is one part of project health.
Controls Star does not isolate EVM from the rest of the project. Earned value sits alongside schedule, cost, productivity, critical path, discipline performance and trend analysis — so teams see one coherent picture of project health.
