Finally, to track and report your construction costs in real-time, you need to regularly and consistently report your cost information to your stakeholders. Doing so can help you inform and update them on the status and progress of your project finances, as well as any issues or risks that may affect your costs. It can also demonstrate and justify your cost performance and efficiency, and provide evidence for any deviations or variations from the cost baseline or expectations. Additionally, reporting your cost information can give you the opportunity to request feedback, approval, or support from stakeholders for any changes, adjustments, or actions related to your costs. Furthermore, it can document and archive cost information for future reference, analysis, or audit. The frequency and format of cost reporting may vary depending on the project size, complexity, and stakeholder requirements; however, it should be done at least monthly (or more often if there are significant changes or events that affect your costs). Cost reports should use clear, concise, and visual formats such as charts, graphs, tables, or dashboards; they should also highlight the key points and messages that need to be conveyed to the audience.
