Trace the schedule back to the books

Ready for the next question.

The schedule needs to explain what changed.

A WIP schedule is more useful when it ties to the books and has a clear basis for the estimates. Keep the underlying records and the recurring review in step.

What the work includes

Make the responsibility clear.

01

Monthly WIP reporting

Cost-to-cost progress, over and under billings, and a roll-forward showing what moved and why.

02

Retainage by contract

Separate receivable and payable retainage from current balances and maintain the supporting contract records.

03

Surety reporting support

Assemble the agreed quarterly package in the format the underwriter reads and work through reporting questions.

An important part of the scope

Your team’s estimates stay central.

The field and project team know the work left to perform. Current cost-to-complete estimates, approved changes and contract records are essential inputs to a meaningful schedule.

We prepare the financial picture. Bond decisions and capacity remain with the surety and underwriter.
