Course Information
Course Overview
Project execution and control - Progress Payments, Productivity, Units and Labor, Financial Projections (Forecasting)
Part 5 of 6 focuses on the financial health of the project. This course begins by covering the process to quickly review and approve pay applications. Key payment terms are discussed and the importance of cash flow is a major consideration. To monitor progress in the field and make adjustments, it's important to have a solid process for tracking units, labor and ultimately productivity. We'll dive into the process to evaluate crew output and compare that to planned productivity. We'll wrap up the course by learning how to forecast costs on the project and perform a financial projection. Ultimately, the ability for a PM to forecast and realize margin on the project is critical to the success of the job.

After all this time, I have to say Matthew Morris' course is extremely highly valued. Matt's course teaches me a lot, the knowledge works in the field, and he does not rob my wallet.

The instructor is extremely knowledgeable in this subject matter. He teaches with confidence. I'm not a project manager, nor do I aspire to be one. I'm a construction accountant and wanted to gain some knowledge about the PM's role and how certain tasks should be accounted for in our books. Additionally, enrolling in this class allowed me to understand the processes & terminologies much better. Although Vol 5 is the 2nd tutorial that I enrolled in under Matthew Morris (I also completed Vol 1), I do plan to enroll in at least one more. Job well done!!
