An effective way to **plan clinic expansion projects and their budgets** is to break each project into phases with owners and dates, set a budget per phase, approve every expense before it is committed and compare planned versus spent amounts throughout the project.

In **Jestor**, projects appear on a **Gantt** timeline, and expenses are tracked against the budget in real time.

## Why do expansion projects go over budget?

Opening a new unit or renovating a wing involves construction, equipment, licenses and hiring, all at once.

When expenses are approved by message and tracked in separate spreadsheets, the real cost appears only at the end.

## What problems does project planning solve?

- Budgets exceeded without warning
- Phases delayed by unclear ownership
- Expenses approved without authority
- No single view of project progress
- Missing documents for licenses and contracts

## How do I plan an expansion project in Jestor?

1. **Create the project** with phases, such as Design, Construction, Equipment, Licensing and Hiring.
2. **Assign owners and dates** to each phase and show them on a Gantt view.
3. **Set a budget per phase**.
4. **Approve expenses** through an approval flow with value limits before purchase.
5. **Track spent versus budget** on a dashboard and send payables to the **ERP**.

| Phase        | Key deliverable   | Budget control       |
| ------------ | ----------------- | -------------------- |
| Design       | Approved layout   | Design fees          |
| Construction | Space ready       | Contractor payments  |
| Equipment    | Devices installed | Purchases and leases |
| Licensing    | Permits issued    | Fees and services    |
| Hiring       | Team ready        | Recruitment costs    |
