Cost
Cost Management
Budget, commitments, actuals, forecast and change held against the same structure as the programme — cost as a live control, not a late ledger.
Why this matters
Money that cannot be tied to remaining work is already lost.
Cost management here is project control of money. It is not statutory audit or bookkeeping. The purpose is to see variance while procurement and scope can still move.
What we do
Cost against scope, schedule and change
Budget and control, commitments, actuals, forecasting, EAC, change impacts and cost reporting for commercial decisions. No calculator theatre.
Core service areas
What the money view must include.
- 01
Budget and control
A budget that maps to scope and WBS, not a single bottom-line hope.
- 02
Commitments
What is let, remaining to let, and exposed.
- 03
Actuals
Incurred cost in the period position where the project’s records support it.
- 04
Forecasting and EAC
Remaining cost with drivers tied to remaining work.
- 05
Change impacts
Price and record change before it is absorbed into overrun.
- 06
Cost reporting
Budget, actual, commitment and forecast in one view.
- 07
Commercial decision support
Options leadership can still take.
