What do the columns in the cash flow table mean?

The cash flow table has a row for each category and contract. Here's what each column means.

• Forecast Final Cost: what you expect it to cost in total.
• Forecast Remaining: the amount not yet spread across the months. Aim for $0 (or —).
• Total FEC: what you have paid, plus what you have forecast, for the months shown.
• FCST (forecast): what you expect to pay that month. You type this in.
• ACT (actual): what you have paid that month. This fills in automatically from your payments and invoices.

Income is money coming in (e.g. loan payments). Outgoing is money going out to your builder, consultants and suppliers.
