Construction Cost Review

Construction Cost Review

With construction comes expense. Your company wants to be sure the cost of a project—regardless of its size or complexity—accurately reflects the work being conducted. CBIZ construction cost review and consulting services help ensure you only pay for the services and materials dictated by the terms of your construction contract.

Reviewing your contract requires an understanding of construction costs and building projects, which we've honed from our years of serving the construction industry. We can get involved early in the process to identify potential issues, review contract documents and lend our construction acumen to the cost negotiation process.
