Owner's Budget Control at Every Important Design Point
What This Service Is
Owner's Budget Monitoring tracks costs during the design process.
At important design points, a computer report projects construction cost from the drawings.
Early warnings = no surprises later.
Why Most Projects Go Over Budget
Most architects avoid cost talk until drawings are complete.
By then, owners are locked into designs they can't afford.
Traditional process = late, expensive surprises.
How TVA Monitors Your Budget
We update construction cost estimates at each important design point.
You see how design choices impact the bottom line in real time.
Transparent tracking puts you in control.
Protecting Owners When It Matters Most
Why It Matters More in Fire Rebuilds
Insurance settlements often cap budgets, leaving no room to 'just spend more.'
Monitoring makes sure resources are used efficiently to maximize what you get for your Essential protection when funds are limited.
What Budget Monitoring Is NOT
It is not frivolous or meaningless paperwork or an after-the-fact review.
It is cost control of the design process results -not a substitute for bidding.
Active prevention, not passive oversight.
What You Gain
Protection against surprise costs, yet maximizing items and quality.
Transparent tracking and professional advocacy keep you in control.
Peace of mind through every design stage.
