Cost Allocation

In a busy construction company, it’s easy to make small mistakes that lead to inaccurate cost allocation. PBMares offers you extensive industry knowledge and experience to help you properly determine and allocate direct, indirect and overhead costs for each job, ensuring that all costs go to the appropriate contract. We also help with establishing effective job cost tracking systems and reconstructing misallocated costs when there’s a problem.

Financial Forecasts & Projections

In the dynamic and competitive construction and real estate industries, planning for growth and anticipating future needs is a significant challenge. We help contractors and developers establish reliable estimates and maximize cash flow throughout project cycles and shifting economic conditions, with services that include:

• Budget development
• Establishing optimal cash flow procedures
• Cash flow monitoring
• Financial projections
• Model validation and backtesting

Lookback Planning & Guidance

Accurate cost estimates can help contractors and developers minimize the amount you owe and avoid tax overpayment that diminishes cash flow. We establish appropriate offsets, verify costs, and validate project completion rates to help you avoid expensive surprises after the job is complete.

Overhead Rate Calculations

Are you confident in your overhead rate? Overlooked indirect costs can mean lost revenue and lower profitability for contractors. PBMares helps you identify all labor and other eligible costs to calculate the true overhead rate, improving the accuracy of your financial statements and boosting profit potential.
