Fractional Construction Project Controls

Know exactly where every project stands — without a full-time hire.

Professional budget, forecast, schedule, and reporting control for growing construction companies. The visibility of a project-controls department, at a fraction of the cost.

Remote support for GCs, developers, and specialty contractors managing multiple projects.

"Where are we on this project?"

If you're still the one personally chasing that answer across every job, the problem usually isn't more people. It's better project controls.

The question every growing contractor keeps asking
The gap

You don't need another full-time manager. You need visibility.

As you take on more projects, reporting gets harder to keep straight. Budgets drift, change orders pile up, and forecasts live in someone's head instead of on a page.

Hiring a full-time project controls manager is a six-figure commitment most growing companies aren't ready for. Fractional support gives you the same discipline — cost forecasting, schedule performance, risk tracking, clean monthly reporting — scaled to what you actually need.

Services

Project controls, run remotely and consistently.

Four core areas that keep budgets, schedules, and stakeholders aligned across your portfolio.

Project Controls

Budget vs. actuals, cost forecasting, schedule and performance management — the core numbers that tell you if a job is on track.

Construction Reporting

Monthly dashboards and executive reporting that give owners and stakeholders a clear, current picture — no spreadsheet archaeology required.

PMIS & Process Optimization

Project-management workflows, reporting structures, and systems (including Procore) set up so your team works from one reliable source of truth.

Preconstruction Support

Budget, schedule, and risk analysis before the shovels move — so you commit to projects with your eyes open, not your fingers crossed.

What you get

Everything a controls department tracks — handled for you.

Remote, monthly, and consistent. Here's what stays visible while you focus on building.

About

Built inside real construction programs.

I've spent my career running program controls for a large construction and infrastructure portfolio — building the dashboards, forecasting models, and reporting that leadership relies on to make decisions.

Now I bring that same discipline to small and mid-sized construction companies that are growing past the point where spreadsheets and gut feel can keep up — but aren't ready to carry a full-time controls hire.

The result: you get senior-level visibility into cost, schedule, and risk across every project, without adding headcount.

Let's talk
