Budget and Financial Management. Navitas prepares a project cost estimate during the project development. In addition, we seek cost estimates and bids from equipment suppliers and subcontractors before finalizing the project with the client. This provides a strong foundation for understanding the finalized budget that is openly shared with the client. Throughout the project, our project manager will use a budget analysis tool that works like a checkbook in the sense that all expenses and credits are recorded as they are made. A separate line item will be established by building, by energy conservation measure to be managed and tracked. The original budget amounts will be supported with contracts with subcontractors and vendors. Unlike a traditional accounting system, which can lag several weeks behind, this gives the project manager a real-time view of the project’s financial status and allows the project manager to make informed decisions about the project. The budget is established and agreed to upfront, and then updated regularly for meetings throughout the project. The result is long-term value that is created by eliminating the need for change orders and surprises that can come up at the end of the construction.
