The audit process, step by step

Cost audit coordination is a sequence of document work, clarification, and a written findings pack — not a black-box score.

  1. Inquiry & conflict check

    You outline the project, stage, and parties involved. We confirm we are free of conflicting engagements with the contractor or competing consultants on the same file.

  2. Document map

    Drawings, bills, claims, and variation logs are catalogued. Gaps are listed early so you know what the audit can and cannot test.

  3. Reconciliation fieldwork

    Quantities, rates, and claim arithmetic are tested against the issued design. Site visits in the Taichung region are scheduled when measurement evidence requires them.

  4. Clarification rounds

    Questions go to the architect, QS, or contractor as appropriate. Answers are logged; unresolved items stay visible rather than disappearing into optimism.

  5. Working session

    Findings are walked through with your team — preferably in one sitting — so priorities and next actions are agreed in the room.

  6. Dated report & open-item register

    You receive a written report and a live register of open items with owners and suggested due dates. Follow-up days can be booked if the register needs a second pass.

What you prepare

  • Latest drawing issue and revision list
  • Priced bill of quantities or cost plan
  • Contract sum analysis and variation register
  • Recent progress claim packages, if works are underway

What we return

  • Findings report with cost impact notes
  • Mismatch log tied to drawings or claim lines
  • Open-item register for follow-up
  • Optional verification memos on a monthly cycle
