The Challenge

The company struggled with:

  • Frequent cost overruns
  • Delayed corrective actions due to late cost visibility
  • Lack of alignment between budget planning and project execution

Budgets were not linked to actual project scopes, and there was no structured method for comparing actual costs against allocated budgets in real time.

Budget Structuring

  • Cost Categorization:
    Budgets were split into four primary categories:
    • Material Costs
    • Subcontractor Costs
    • Labor Costs
    • Project Overheads
  • Implementation of BOQ-Linked Tracking:We implemented a cost tracking system aligned with BOQ codes, ensuring that all actual expenses could be directly compared to budgeted amounts.
  • Monthly Monitoring & Reporting:A reporting framework was established to review budget vs actuals on a monthly basis, allowing the management to track financial performance proactively.
