Cost Management
Cost management has a broad focus. It includes – but is not confined to – the continuous control of costs. Cost management generally describes the approaches and activities in short run and long run planning and control decisions that increase value for customers and lower costs of products and services. In EDMAC, it is an integral part of general management strategies and their implementation. We plan and controls costs and link them inextricably with revenue and profit planning. Our team identifies each of the costs within the project, ensure that expenses are approved before purchasing, keep a central record of all costs incurred, control the overall cost of the project, determine whether the expenses are adequately budgeted, monitor and control instances of over-spending, gain special approvals for extra-ordinary expenses, schedule expense payments and invoice approvals, keep the project and financial plans up-to-date.EDMAC believes – to deliver the project “within budget”, it’s essential to put in place an efficient process for managing project costs. This project cost management process helps to achieve the above mentioned objective, by giving a best practice set of procedures which helps to identify, monitor and control costs, step-by-step.
Project supervision
Maximum benefit from the site and its features can only be obtained if a full survey of the site and its setting is carried out effectively. EDMAC understands the context and characteristics of the site resulting into the evolution of a design which reflects the character of the locality, thereby enabling the development to be readily integrated into the environment. We assess both the strengths and weaknesses of the site as well of its surroundings. We ensure that all features of the site are either measured or noted that help the designer to produce a successful development which harmonizes with its environment.
