Control · Cost Control & Forecasting

See the final cost while it can change.

Cost control and forecasting that tracks commitments, changes and contingency against the schedule, so the estimate at completion moves when the job moves. Not at closeout, when the money is already gone.

Every overrun was visible once.

01

Paid is not forecast

Comparing invoices to budget tells you what has been spent. It says nothing about what the job will cost to finish.

02

Pending changes off the report

Potential change orders live in email until they are signed. The forecast looks clean right up to the month a stack of them lands.

03

Delay carries a price tag

Every late month adds general conditions, escalation, financing and lost revenue. A forecast that ignores the schedule is simply wrong.

How we work

How we forecast.

  1. 01

    Every commitment, coded

    Contracts, purchase orders, approved and pending changes, all on the same WBS and cost codes as the schedule.

  2. 02

    Pay apps against work in place

    Each pay application checked against measured progress and the schedule of values, so you pay for what is built and nothing more.

  3. 03

    Forecast from the schedule

    Remaining cost is spread over the remaining schedule. When the finish moves, time-related cost moves with it automatically.

  4. 04

    Contingency in the open

    Every drawdown logged against a named risk, with the remaining balance shown next to the risks still open.

  5. 05

    Put a price on one day

    We tell you what a day of slip costs your project, in dollars. Cost of Delay in our Controls Lab gives you a first number in a minute.

In practice · Multi-Tenant Colocation Data Center

Megawatts sold by date. Cost tied to time.

A four-hall, 36 MW colocation data center in Texas, delivered CM at-risk over 30 months. Tenants signed for megawatts on dates, so the cost forecast rode on the schedule and every sequencing change showed its cost effect in the same monthly report. Every hall was energized and handed over on the day it was sold.

Straight answers to fair questions.

How is this different from our accounting system?

Accounting records what was paid. Cost control forecasts what the job will cost to finish, including pending changes, open risk and the effect of the schedule.

Can you work with our existing cost system?

Yes. We work from your system’s exports and build reporting around them. Our Construction Data & Integration team can connect it to the schedule so nobody retypes numbers.

How do we know what a day of delay costs?

We build it from your general conditions, escalation, financing and lost revenue. For a fast first estimate, open Cost of Delay in our Controls Lab.
