# CWICR Report Generator
## Overview
Generate professional cost reports from CWICR calculations - executive summaries, detailed breakdowns, charts, and export to multiple formats.

## Quick Start
```python
# Create report generator
gen = CWICRReportGenerator("Office Building", currency="EUR")
# Add sections
gen.add_summary({
'labor': 125000,
'material': 350000,
'equipment': 75000,
'overhead': 82500,
'profit': 63250,
'total': 695750
})
# Save reports
gen.save_html("cost_report.html")
gen.generate_excel("cost_report.xlsx")
```
## From DataFrame
```python
# Quick report from cost DataFrame
report = QuickReport.from_dataframe(cost_df, "My Project")
report.save_html("quick_report.html")
```
