Owner’s Reps don’t “track costs.”
They manage financial control.

They help owners stay predictable across:

• scope changes
• schedule drift
• procurement delays
• invoice approvals
• contingency usage
• cash flow timing

The four financial controls Owner’s Reps manage

1. Budget: approved spending targets
2. Commitments: contracts, POs, and expected changes
3. Cash flow: when money actually leaves the owner
4. Contingency: risk buffer and uncertainty protection

If these aren’t connected, the owner loses control.

The biggest financial failure: ungoverned contingency

Contingency is not “extra money.”
It’s the owner’s risk protection.

Without modern tools:

• contingency gets used without clear reason
• approvals aren’t traceable
• forecasts become inaccurate
• owners get surprised late

Why all-in-one software matters

A unified Owner’s Rep platform links:

• cost changes to forecasts
• invoices to approvals
• commitments to budget categories
• cash flow to schedule progress
• contingency to risk governance

Owner’s Reps don’t need better spreadsheets.
They need financial project controls built for capital construction.
