Cost Control

Cost Control – or Cost Management – is implemented to assure that projects are completed within budget. Both "historical" (work and costs to date) and "projected" data (estimated remaining costs and work) are monitored and evaluated, and all members of the project team are kept informed of cost related issues. Walton believes this process begins at the pre-construction stage.  Projected costs are analyzed and can be evaluated and, if necessary, modified through design changes on a more cost effective basis than after the project is under construction.

The CMiC Enterprise system provides detailed project cost information through the Project Management Module.  If you are looking for more project cost information relating to the following areas please refer to the CMiC Operations Training Manual.
 

This system also facilitates the following project activities:

§         Forecasting based on actual performance

§         Invoicing (or current value) based on progress

§         Cash flow updated as schedule progresses

§         Budgeting and variances

§         General accounting

The CMiC Enterprise System is used on all projects by both office and field personnel, insuring the reliability and integrity of cost management and cost reporting for any particular project.
