Auditing direct labor in construction projects

Oct. 15, 2021 · Authored by Anthony Ollmann, Andy Kitt

Direct labor costs can make up 50% or more of a project’s construction costs. Consequently, seemingly insignificant charges may result in significant project costs. From double billing holiday and vacation time to miscalculations of time and a half rates to contractors owning the power to bill for profit redistribution, common labor risks can make or break a project. This on-demand webinar will demonstrate how an auditor can test and analyze direct labor rates and costs to prevent unnecessary direct labor costs.

This presentation will cover how to:

• Identify contract terms that increase labor costs
• Detect unfavorable billing practices
• Write a direct labor audit program
• Analyze labor rates for realized costs
