Build better, together
WATCH A DEMO

Why do so many capital project owners discover budget problems after it's too late to course-correct? The answer usually isn't bad estimating — it's an information gap between the teams managing day-to-day execution and the leadership making strategic decisions.

Join VPO CEO Laura Nee and guest speaker Rob Price, PMP — a Principal and Construction Project Manager at KPFF Consulting Engineers with decades of experience delivering complex capital programs — for a candid conversation about what's really breaking down in project financial visibility, and what a better approach looks like in practice.

When: May 13th, 2pm EDT
Where: Zoom meeting

Webinar: The Cost Visibility Gap

Does this sound familiar?

  • Your budget updates come monthly — but problems don't wait that long 
  • Change orders pile up without a clear picture of cumulative impact 
  • Execution teams and leadership are looking at different numbers 
  • You're reacting to overruns instead of catching them early 
  • Cost data lives in spreadsheets, email threads, and pay apps — not one place 

You're not alone.  If your team is struggling with any of these challenges, you can't afford to miss this conversation  

What we'll cover:

  • Why owners often discover cost overruns too late — and where the information breaks down between execution teams and leadership 

  • How to use change order management as an early warning system, not just a cost reconciliation exercise 

  • What it takes to move from monthly "rear-view mirror" reporting to real-time budget confidence 

  • What a structured owner-consultant financial workflow actually looks like on real projects 

Whether you're managing a single major project or an entire capital program, this session will give you practical strategies you can take back to your team immediately.
