• Prepare periodic cost reports showing current expenditure, commitments, anticipated final cost, and identified commercial exposure.
• Develop cost forecasts and cash-flow projections to improve financial visibility throughout the construction lifecycle.
• Provide management with concise commercial reporting on significant cost movements, claims, variations, and outstanding matters.
• Identify project-specific commercial risks before they develop into significant cost exposure.

• Support FIDIC-based contract administration and ensure relevant notices and commercial procedures are followed.

• Support the preparation, negotiation, and settlement of final accounts.
