Construction projects are highly visible, complex undertakings requiring significant financial commitments. Whether you’re spending public or private funds for your construction project, the Construction Audit Toolbox webinar series can help ensure your initiative isn’t costing more than it should.
This webinar series provides auditors, facility administrators, CFOs, and other professionals involved in construction project management with an overview of the construction contracting process, construction project audit checklists and templates, best practices, industry insight, and the tools necessary to get you started.

Webinar attendeeThis webinar presented key topics and was effective at briefly providing a broad picture.
Learn how how vague or unfavorable labor terms can lead to significant cost overruns, and how proactive contract analysis can mitigate these risks in this on-demand webinar from Baker Tilly.

As we progress through 2025, the construction industry faces a landscape marked by volatility and rapid change. There are several emerging trends that are reshaping capital construction projects and audit programs. In this article, we’ll delve into three of these trends, offering strategic guidance to navigate the complexities ahead.
Newly proposed tariffs are likely to create pricing volatility in the construction materials market. During this on-demand webinar, Baker Tilly presenters cover what's on the horizon in the world of change orders and how tariffs might impact the construction industry.
Small capital projects are perhaps the riskiest construction projects in your capital program. During this on-demand webinar, Baker Tilly presenters discuss why small capital project risk is elevated and how to efficiently audit the capital and maintenance project portfolio.
The function of project controls is to provide proactive monitoring to ensure that capital projects are completed on time, on budget and within the contracted scope. During this on-demand construction audit webinar, our presenters show how this discipline touches every aspect of an organization and directly effects the outcome of projects and corporate initiatives alike.

View our second webinar in the series to learn how to successfully template the most significant information for a construction audit.
In the first webinar of our "construction audit toolbox" series, we walk through how you can develop construction audit checklists and customization guidelines that meet the needs and risk mitigation goals of a construction project.
This webinar covers effective strategies to shorten the construction schedule, avoid unnecessary costs and identify potential overcharges.
This webinar explored the root causes and early indicators of issues that can derail a project and lead to relationship failure between an owner and contractor.
Identifying and mitigating construction project risk is not limited to the quantitative analysis of project cost data.
Mega project conditions demand predictive risk mitigation programs to test project management effectiveness, safety program compliance, engineering specification compliance, and non-traditional construction methods from internal audit.
This webinar covers examples of claims and court decisions and what your role in the resolution process is.
Listen to the second webinar in this construction claims series as we review what procedures are necessary to understand, quantify the potential financial impact and generate a claim.
Every construction project is unique and eventually most experience a construction claim. Listen in to learn more about fundamentals of the different types of construction claims and their root causes.
Normal conflicts occur during construction projects, but when these conflicts turn into unresolvable issues claims and disputes may result. Listen as we uncover ways to resolve and mitigate potential claims.
Organizations with continuous capital programs are likely to encounter claims and litigation sooner or later. This presentation will use a case study to guide participants through the lifecycle of a dispute, providing insight to owners from both a plaintiff and defendant perspective.
Pre-construction auditing brings transparency to billing rates and general conditions estimates by examining the underlying cost assumptions before the construction contract has been executed. This pre-construction audit webinar will discuss the elements of the audit program and contractor documents required to successfully analyze proposed project financial terms.
This on-demand construction audit webinar covers how an auditor can test and analyze direct labor rates and costs to prevent unnecessary direct labor costs.
This on-demand webinar focuses on customizing a construction audit program to monitor and mitigate price risk volatility.
Cost shifting is the unauthorized transfer of costs from non-reimbursable cost centers to reimbursable cost centers. Reallocated costs are the authorized repurposing of budget dollars resulting from advantageous purchasing practices or efficient delivery of construction services.
Tools and resources for auditing direct construction costs. Case studies from real construction projects to apply the auditor’s toolbox and demonstrate the value of auditing direct construction costs.
Newly proposed tariffs are likely to create pricing volatility in the construction materials market. During this on-demand webinar, Baker Tilly presenters cover what's on the horizon in the world of change orders and how tariffs might impact the construction industry.
Small capital projects are perhaps the riskiest construction projects in your capital program. During this on-demand webinar, Baker Tilly presenters discuss why small capital project risk is elevated and how to efficiently audit the capital and maintenance project portfolio.
During this on-demand webinar, Baker Tilly presenters share what they have learned since the start of the pandemic, contracting and construction control strategies, increasing project cost transparency and minimizing construction cost escalation.
This on-demand construction audit webinar covers how an auditor can build a post occupancy construction monitoring program, recognize post occupancy construction risk and audit the punch list for completion and back charges.
This on-demand webinar focuses on the action items that an auditor can perform to identify the financial risk of change orders and quantify the impacts.
In this webinar, we review what risks are associated to using public-private partnerships as a funding mechanism in your next development project.

Learn how an owner can mitigate risks with a well-written contract.
Dan Brennan, founding partner of Laurie & Brennan, LLP, rejoins our series to break down the terms and conditions any good construction contract should contain. He provides an overview of terms that can be used which are explicit and protect the owner and contractor from misinterpretation and unintended consequences.
All construction contracts have general conditions provisions. Analyzing these contract terms enables the construction contract auditor to build the project audit program and contribute to on time, under budget project delivery.
Learn how to decompose change orders to expose the underlying pricing strategies and the financial risk associated with each change order.
Analyze an EPC contract for risk and plan to audit EPC projects.
Assess a unit priced construction contract for project risk and develop an audit program for unit priced projects.
