Poor cost performance is a severe problem for construction projects worldwide. Based on a KPMG recent
study, 50% of major construction projects worldwide are prone to cost overruns, mainly attributed to
poor project cost control, scope changes and ineffective cost management.
Clariden is pleased to host Construction Project Cost Control, VarianceAnalysis and Cost Management
to provide you with an integrated and strategic cost control, variance analysis and cost management
approach to effectively detect cost deviations and efficiently manage them to keep within your
project budget. Starting with establishing cost baselines, you will learn how to analyze and control
cost performance as well as manage cost contingency from project initiation to close-out to ensure
optimal cash flow. Equipped with proven cost control and management techniques (i.e. Earned-Value
Management (EVM), Control Account Plans (CAPs) Variance Analysis, To-Complete Performance
Index), you will benchmark your current approaches against the best practices. In addition, you will
also discover comprehensive cost reporting and forecasting tools that can ensure cost vigilance and
monitoring throughout your project lifecycle.
At the end of this program, you will bring home with you an exclusive ‘Tool Box’ to help you maintain
the consistency between your budgeted and actual costs, ensuring successful project delivery on budget.

PROGRAM INTRODUCTION
“Runaway budget costs are behind one-quarter of project failures for projects with budgets greater than US$350,000.”
Controlling and managing the costs throughout the project lifecycle has always been a constant challenge for all
project managers and leaders as slight changes in project scope and schedule can potential lead to inordinate cost
increase and influence the profits and losses of one’s organization. An integrated and strategic approach in project
cost control, variance analysis and cost management is therefore indispensable to effectively detect any cost deviations
and efficiently manage them to keep within budget.
Aligned with the Project Management Institute (PMI®) Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge
(PMBOK® Guide) and industry standards, this program will provide you with an integrated and strategic cost
control, variance analysis and cost management approach to effectively track cost deviations and efficiently manage
them within your project budget. Starting with establishing cost baselines, you will learn how to analyze and
control cost performance as well as manage cost contingency from project initiation to close-out to ensure optimal
cash flow. Equipped with proven cost control and management techniques (i.e. Earned-Value Management (EVM),
Control Account Plans (CAPs) Variance Analysis, To-Complete Performance Index), you will benchmark your
current approaches against the best practices. In addition, you will also discover comprehensive cost reporting and
forecasting tools that can ensure cost vigilance and monitoring throughout your project lifecycle.
Beyond that, this practical executive program will also introduce a systematic approach to assess and manage the
uncertainties (inherent risks) and risk events (contingent risks) during project execution phase. Approximately
50% of class time will be devoted to casework and experiential learning, drawing experience from both course
leaders’ diverse backgrounds in project management and quantity surveying.
At the end of this program, you will bring home with you an exclusive ‘Tool Box’ to help you maintain the consistency
between your budgeted and actual costs, ensuring successful project delivery on budget.

10. 50% of construction projects are prone to cost overrun, based on a recent study done by KPMG. This
can lead to conflict and litigation, or in the extreme, projects abandonment. The ability to incorporate
rigorous cost planning and estimation within project accounts for up to 75% of projects delivered
successfully and on budget, representing its pivotal role in determining successful project outcomes.
Clariden is pleased to host Construction Pre-Project Cost Planning, Estimation and Modeling
Masterclass to help you improve your overall cost planning, estimation and modeling and ensure
that your projects are delivered on budget with minimal cost overruns. Aligned with industry best
practices and PMI PMBOK® Guide, this practical two-day program will cover the important elements
of project cost planning, estimation and modeling during the pre-project phase to allow you to forecast
accurately the anticipated project lifecycle costs, budget estimates and payback period. You will have
the opportunity to examine your own projects by applying proven cost planning, estimation and
modeling techniques (i.e. parametric, analogous, three-point, and “cost model” estimating) and be
introduced to more advanced estimating models like the 5D Building Information Modeling (5D
BIM) that will transform your cost planning, estimation and modeling processes. In anticipation of
uncertainties and risk events, you will also learn how to analyze cost risks to ensure optimal cost
contingency reserve and sufficient cash flow projections.
At the end of this program, you will walk away with a comprehensive action plan that will help you
to benchmark your current approaches against best practices and create robust project cost plans,
estimates and models that will drive the overall project delivery objectives.

PROGRAM INTRODUCTION
The decision to proceed with a construction project is often based almost exclusively on early conceptual cost plan,
estimates and models as they provide the basis for the cash flow projections and budget forecasts used during the
project feasibility study. Unreliable cost estimates can result in significant cost overruns later in the project life
when it is too late to contain them. As potential projects are considered, management not only requires costs estimate
and models of high accuracy, they also seek opportunities to reduce life-cycle costs, improve budget accuracy and
optimize whole-life project value.
Aligned with the Project Management Institute (PMI®) Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge
(PMBOK® Guide) and industry standards, this two-day executive program will teach on the essentials of
construction project cost planning, estimation and modeling during the pre-project phase to allow you to forecast
accurately the anticipated project lifecycle costs, budget estimates and payback period in order to justify capital
investment decisions on projects that bring the most value to your organization. You will have the opportunity to
examine your own projects as well as other real-world case studies by applying proven cost planning, estimation
and modeling tools and techniques (i.e. parametric, analogous, three-point, and wide-band Delphi estimating). You
will also be introduced to more advanced estimating models like the Building Information Modeling (BIM) that will
transform your cost planning, estimation and modeling processes.
Beyond that, this practical executive program will also cover a systematic approach to identify and quantify the
uncertainties (inherent risks) and risk events (contingent risks), enabling a reasonable and optimum contingency
to be assessed before the project execution. Approximately 50% of class time will be devoted to casework and
experiential learning, drawing experience from both course leaders’ diverse backgrounds in project management
and quantity surveying.
The practical exercises, video presentations and case studies to be expected include:
• $11b tunneling and rail project: Cost and schedule contingency assessment
• $5b LNG project: Integrated cost-schedule risk analysis to assess the project confidence level
• A couple of complex power plants: Cost risk analysis of to assess the contingencies during the bid and
delivery phases
• Identify the schedule and cost impacts
• Integrated cost-schedule risk analysis with software (i.e Acumen Risk, @Risk, Primavera Risk Analysis)
