The money picture across every job

Rolling four jobs into one view, and spotting the one that is quietly bleeding.

In this lesson

One view, not four

As the owner, Dina does not read four jobs one at a time. She reads them rolled into one view — here, the delivery portfolio that gathers every live project.

It is called Mashrabeya 2026 Delivery, and inside it sits one programme that links the four jobs the studio is running this year.

Opening it together

She opens that programme to see them together, instead of walking each site’s numbers separately.

Rolled up, not added up

Completion and budget roll up on a single screen — how far along the whole programme is, and what it is costing, without adding anything up by hand.

The four jobs, side by side

Every project feeding this programme is listed here: the Twin Villas, the Korba café roastery, the Arkan clinic, and the San Stefano penthouse.

Where the quiet one shows itself

This is where the quiet one shows itself. The job that looks fine on its own but is dragging the programme’s margin down — you only see it once the four sit side by side.

One programme, eighteen million pounds across four jobs, steered from this one screen.

Why roll up before you drill in

Read each job on its own and a bleed looks like a rounding error. Read them together and it is the one Dina goes and asks Youssef about tomorrow.

The habit that matters

One habit worth building: walk the rolled-up view before the individual jobs. The picture across the whole studio is the one that tells you where to look first.
