Time: 3:00PM - 5:00PM (Eastern), 12:00PM - 2:00PM (Pacific)
 

This four-hour course will provide an advanced view of the work-in-progress (WIP) schedule. Your WIP is more than a reporting tool: it is a financial management tool for your construction company. From this course, you will gain strategies to turn unexpected profit fade and enhancements into predictable events. Take a deep dive into WIP so that you know what to look for and what questions to ask when reviewing a job schedule.

Learning Objectives
After this session, attendees will be able to:

  • Show how to account for self-performed work on your WIP without double counting
  • Discuss change orders/additional purchase orders and how they impact gross profit and revenue expectations
  • Describe the role of the formal cost review process in the outcome of the WIP
  • Discuss WIP analysis techniques, tips and tricks
  • Identify the impact of profit fade and fee enhancements

Level & Prerequisites
