This is the KPI Scorecard line — a month-picker scorecard built around KPI cards, traffic lights and a comparison switch. It is a different product from our analytical Construction Progress & Cost Control Dashboard in Google Sheets, which is a chart-led dashboard rather than a scorecard. Both live in our Google Sheets Dashboards range.

🔑 Key Features of the Masonry Contractor KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets

🏗️ 10 masonry-specific KPIs, not generic business metrics. The scorecard tracks Units Laid per Mason-Day, Wall Area Completed vs Schedule, Mortar Waste Rate, Brick and Block Breakage Rate, Plumb and Level Tolerance Defects, Joint Tooling Rework Hours, Efflorescence and Crack Callback Rate, Scaffold Safety Incident Rate, Wall Tie and Lintel Inspection Pass Rate, and Cost per 1,000 Units Laid.

📊 Five KPI groups organise the scorecard. Every KPI is assigned to Production, Material & Mortar, Quality & Rework, Safety & Compliance, or Financial, so a foreman reading the sheet can see instantly whether this month’s problem is on the wall, in the mortar bucket, on the scaffold, or in the estimate.

🔴 A traffic light on every card. Each KPI card shows a green, amber or red dot beside the current value, the target value, the absolute change and the percentage change with an up or down arrow. In the December sample month the scorecard reads 4 green, 3 amber and 3 red.

📅 Month picker and comparison switch in the header. Three dropdowns sit in the title bar: Select Month, an MTD / YTD basis switch, and a “Vs.” switch that compares the selected month against Target or against Prior Year. Change any one and all 10 cards redraw.

📈 A 12-bar sparkline inside every KPI card. Each card carries a miniature 12-month bar strip beneath the numbers, so you see the full year’s shape without leaving the scorecard page.

📝 Every KPI carries its own formula and definition. Nothing is a black box — the KPI Definition sheet spells out the arithmetic behind each metric, its unit, and whether higher is better (UTB) or lower is better (LTB).

📦 What’s Inside the Masonry Contractor KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets

Page 1: KPI Scorecard

The landing page shows all 10 KPI cards in two rows of five, headed by the Select Month, MTD and Vs. Target dropdowns. Each card carries the KPI name, the traffic-light dot, the current value, Target Value, Change, percentage change with a direction arrow, and a 12-month sparkline. The December sample reads 513.2 units laid per mason-day against a 441.4 target, 96.0% wall area completed vs schedule, 7.7% mortar waste, and $1,397.6 cost per 1,000 units laid.

Page 2: KPI Trend

Pick any one of the 10 KPIs from the Select KPI dropdown and this page fills in its KPI Group, Unit, Type, Formula and Definition, then draws two charts: Actual vs Target vs PY (MTD) and Actual vs Target vs PY (YTD). Both plot Jan through Dec with Actual and Prior Year as bars and Target as a line, so a month that beat target but fell behind last year is obvious at a glance.

Page 3: KPI Definition

A single reference table listing all 10 KPIs with number, KPI Group, KPI Name, Unit, Formula, Definition and Type. For example, Mortar Waste Rate is defined as Mortar Mixed but Not Placed / Total Mortar Mixed x 100, and Cost per 1,000 Units Laid as (Mason Labour Cost + Material Cost + Plant Cost) / Units Laid x 1000. This is the page you hand a new site supervisor.

Page 4: Monthly KPI Data

The one sheet you actually type into. It holds a block per KPI (KPI-1 through KPI-10), each with 12 monthly rows carrying MTD Actual, Target and PY alongside YTD Actual, Target and PY — 120 monthly rows of sample data in total. Overwrite the sample figures with your own and the scorecard, trend charts and traffic lights all follow.

📊 Masonry Contractor KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets vs. Microsoft Excel Dashboard vs. Paid Construction SaaS — Where This Fits

For masonry firms that want a monthly performance review without a per-seat construction platform, the Masonry Contractor KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets sits in the sweet spot.

👥 Who This Template Is For — and Who It’s Not For

✅ This template is built for:

• Masonry and bricklaying contractors running 2-30 crews who review performance monthly
• Site supervisors and foremen who want one page to show productivity, waste, rework and cost together
• Owner-operators moving off paper and ad-hoc spreadsheets who need targets and prior-year comparisons in one place
• Estimators checking whether actual cost per 1,000 units laid is tracking the bid

❌ This template is NOT for:

• Teams wanting live job-costing — you type monthly figures in yourself, the sheet does not connect to accounting, estimating or field-service software
• Daily or per-job tracking — the data sheet is monthly, one row per KPI per month
• Anyone needing an automated alert or reminder when a KPI turns red; the scorecard colours the card, it does not notify you
• Contractors who need a formal regulatory recordkeeping system — this is a management scorecard, not a compliance register

⚙️ How to Use the Masonry Contractor KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets

1. Download the PDF from your order and click the “Make a copy” link inside it to save an editable copy to your own Google Drive.
2. Open the KPI Definition sheet and read the formula and unit for each of the 10 KPIs so your inputs match the intended arithmetic.
3. Go to the Monthly KPI Data sheet and replace the sample MTD and YTD figures with your own Actual, Target and PY numbers, one block per KPI.
4. Return to the KPI Scorecard page and set Select Month to the month you want to review.
5. Switch the basis dropdown between MTD and YTD, and the “Vs.” dropdown between Target and PY, to reframe all 10 cards.
6. Open the KPI Trend page and use Select KPI to inspect any single metric’s Actual vs Target vs PY charts across the year.
7. Share the sheet with your supervisors using Google Sheets sharing and run it as your monthly performance review.

💼 Real-World Use Cases

Danny runs a 12-mason brickwork firm on residential estates. Each month he types the crew’s laid units, mason days and mortar mixed into the Monthly KPI Data sheet, then opens the scorecard on Dec MTD vs Target. When Brick and Block Breakage Rate went red at 3.0% against a 2.6% target, he traced it to a new pallet supplier and switched back the same week.

Priya is a site supervisor on a commercial block-work package. She uses the KPI Trend page to show her project manager that Wall Area Completed vs Schedule has held above 90% for eleven of twelve months, and that the single dip in February matched a two-week weather stoppage — a conversation she used to have with no evidence at all.

Marcus estimates for a regional masonry contractor. He watches Cost per 1,000 Units Laid month by month against the target he built into the bid; when the December figure came in at $1,397.6 against $1,341.7 he adjusted the plant allowance on the next three tenders.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How long does setup take?

Setup takes under 10 minutes. Open the PDF in your download, click the copy link to create your own Google Sheets copy, then replace the sample figures on the Monthly KPI Data sheet. Every card, traffic light and chart in the Masonry Contractor KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets recalculates from that one sheet.

How does this compare to Procore or Buildertrend?

Procore and Buildertrend are full construction platforms billed monthly per seat or per project. The Masonry Contractor KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets is a one-time $8.99 purchase that does one job well: a monthly masonry KPI review with targets, prior-year comparison and traffic lights. It does not manage schedules, documents or invoicing.

Is this the same as your KPI Dashboard templates?

No. The Masonry Contractor KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets is our scorecard line — KPI cards, traffic lights and a month picker on one page. Our KPI Dashboard and analytical dashboard lines are chart-led layouts with slicers. Many customers own both; they answer different questions.

Can I change the KPIs or the targets?

Yes. Every KPI name, unit, formula, definition and monthly target in the Masonry Contractor KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets lives in an ordinary editable cell. Rename a metric on the KPI Definition sheet, adjust the target column on the data sheet, and the scorecard follows.

Do I need Excel or any add-on to use it?

No. The Masonry Contractor KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets runs entirely in Google Sheets in a browser with a free Google account. There are no macros, no add-ons and no external connections — see Google’s Sheets help centre if you are new to making a copy of a shared file.

Does it alert me when a KPI goes red?

No. The Masonry Contractor KPI Scorecard in Google Sheets colours the traffic light on each card red, amber or green based on the value against target, but it sends no email or notification. You review it; it does not chase you.
