Construction projects often go over budget — not because the plan was bad, but because no one was watching closely enough along the way. A construction cost audit shines a light on where your dollars are really going, identifying missed savings, questionable change orders, and areas where vendors may be taking advantage. It’s not about pointing fingers — it’s about making sure your district gets full value for every dollar spent.
Through detailed bid reviews, pay application audits, and change order analysis, construction cost auditing helps prevent overspends before they happen — and catches them quickly when they do. Whether your project is just starting or already underway, bringing in an outside set of eyes can save millions and ensure your bond funds are used exactly as intended.
Most school districts only run a bond program every 10 to 20 years — but vendors and contractors do this every day. That imbalance is where projects go sideways. A fractional bond manager helps level the playing field, giving your district the expertise and oversight you need without the cost of a full-time hire. Whether it’s reviewing bids, monitoring change orders, or keeping vendors accountable, you get an experienced partner in your corner, right-sized to your needs.
With a fractional approach, you pay only for the support you actually need — whether that’s monthly check-ins, key milestone reviews, or full oversight through the life of the project. This helps ensure your bond funds are spent wisely, your projects stay on track, and your community gets what they voted for. It’s peace of mind without the payroll burden.
While we can support your project at any stage—whether you're mid-construction or nearing closeout—the greatest value comes when we're involved from the very beginning, during the pre-construction reconciliation and planning phase. Early engagement allows us to establish a strong financial foundation by validating budgets, vetting contractors, and structuring contracts to prevent the costly issues that often surface later.By starting early, we can proactively identify scope gaps, unrealistic estimates, and design inefficiencies—before contracts are signed or work begins.
We help ensure that every decision made during planning is aligned with your budget, project goals, and long-term operational needs. Waiting until issues arise often means you’re paying to fix problems that could have been prevented. Instead, we help you avoid those pitfalls entirely—protecting your investment, reducing stress, and keeping your project on track from day one.
