From Estimate to Execution: How to Manage Costs the Right Way

Managing project costs is not only about staying within budget. It is about making smart decisions that protect value across the project lifecycle. At Tosh & Tino, our approach is straightforward: control today so you do not pay tomorrow.

Best Practices We Apply

Pre-Contract Phase
Match estimates to design maturity such as FEL Stage 1 to 3.
Build in realistic contingency and escalation.
Use strong market benchmarks for unit rates.
Post-Contract Phase
Track actuals versus baseline with disciplined cost reports.
Review every change order carefully before approval.
Capture lessons learned to sharpen future projects.

Keys to Getting It Right

Transparency: Everyone knows where the money is going.
Consistency: Standard formats and reporting cycles keep things aligned.
Collaboration: Finance, engineering, and procurement work from the same playbook.

Trends to Watch

AI and predictive tools to forecast costs.
Portfolio-level insights to manage multiple projects.
Integrating sustainability and carbon costs into the financials.

Closing Thought
Cost management should be seen as a driver of value, not just a back-office process. Done right, it builds trust, protects budgets, and strengthens competitiveness. At Tosh & Tino, we make cost management a core advantage for our clients.
