Your Roadmap to Confident Project Delivery: The ABS Approach

Cost value reconciliations (CVR) are essential to the construction industry as they help to ensure that a construction project is completed on time, on budget and within expected profit margins. CVRs allow for agreed periodic assessments on the progress of projects, and ensure that they are not overspending or spiralling out of control.

ABS help our clients not just with the preparation of these large project CVR’s but can also complete robust audits on them to share best practice and ask the pertinent questions. This can include:
  • Forensic deep dives on specific costs or selected cost components
  • Subcontractor application reviews. Reviewing critical paths and areas where additional costs or variations have been submitted.
  • Process compliance reviews – Assessing changes in forecasting and cost to completes, helping pinpoint the root cause of overspends or spikes in cost.
  • Produce monthly reporting templates with key information for ease of communicating performance to stakeholders
  • Final account support, building the right level of record support and assurance
