Construction Projects are high-risk ventures. The projects involve many diverse entities: owner, architect, contractor, multiple subcontractors, and suppliers. Combine this with the dynamics of design changes, vendor delays, field changes, schedule changes, and contractor performance and project owners soon ask the following questions:
- Am I paying too much?
- Are monthly invoices correct?
- Are change orders properly priced?
- Are contractors abiding by the payment terms of the contract?
- Why audit construction projects?
Oxford CPC, LLC professionals and partners will assist our clients by preparing General Contractor RFP and contract commercial terms. We analyze cost proposals of selected contractors prior to contract award.
We provide construction consulting, contract preparation and construction auditing services including Pre-Construction Audits, Interim Construction Audits, and Close-Out Construction Audits. If full construction auditing is not appropriate, we may perform Construction Cost Surveys or Construction Management Cost Reviews for our clients. We routinely evaluate construction project change estimates and change order proposals, including change order re-pricing when appropriate.
