Key Responsibilities
- Review and verify construction and development job costs across multiple projects.
- Monitor project budgets, committed costs, and actual expenditures.
- Identify cost overruns, discrepancies, coding errors, and financial risks before they become larger issues.
- Ensure labour, subcontractor, equipment, material, and overhead costs are accurately allocated.
- Perform regular job cost audits across all operating companies.
- Work with project managers to reconcile budgets and forecast project profitability.
- Develop and maintain standardized cost reporting across the group.
- Prepare weekly and monthly cost reports for ownership and senior management.
- Analyze project performance and recommend improvements to increase profitability.
- Review purchase orders, subcontract agreements, change orders, and invoices for cost accuracy.
- Assist in developing cost control procedures and best practices across all companies.
