Project Cost Oversight
Owner-side cost review and capital protection from start to finish.
Construction is complex, and cost control shouldn’t fall entirely on the owner. Our Project Cost Oversight service provides an independent, real-time review of the numbers that matter, from preconstruction through closeout. We help you see what others overlook, spot issues before they snowball, and move forward with clarity, not confusion.
Whether you’re reviewing contractor proposals, navigating payment applications, or managing change orders midstream, RCC acts as your second set of eyes and your advocate at the table.
This service typically includes:
🔹 Contract Advisory — Reviewing contract language to flag cost risks, clarify scope, and protect owner-side interests from the start.
🔹 Procurement Support & Bid Leveling — Evaluating proposals, identifying gaps, and ensuring bids are directly comparable—no hidden variables or formatting tricks.
🔹 Contractor Proposal Review — Breaking down assumptions, allowances, and scope to validate pricing and uncover what’s missing or duplicated.
🔹 Estimate & Schedule Review — Analyzing estimates alongside proposed timelines to highlight mismatches, risks, and cost impacts before they show up on site.
🔹 Payment Application Review — Verifying billed work against actual progress, rates, and quantities—keeping payouts aligned with reality.
🔹 Change Order & Labor Rate Analysis — Assessing proposed changes for fairness, accuracy, and overlap with base scope—before they become budget busters.
🔹 Project Audits (Initial, Interim, Final) — Providing clear checkpoints at key project stages to surface issues, spot trends, and reset expectations if needed.
Ideal for owners and developers who want to stay ahead of cost issues, avoid vague reporting, and bring clarity to every financial decision—without slowing down progress.
We don’t rubber-stamp reports. We verify, question, and back every position with documentation and logic—so when something feels off, you’re ready to speak up (and prove it).
Let’s make sure your numbers hold up, before they hold you back.
“Delegating specific tasks to RCC allows us to more efficiently offload critical tasks that are better suited to RCC, while allowing us to better focus on other areas.”
