As independent cost management consultants, we help developers, corporations, and institutions remove the unexpected from the most challenging projects. PRA’s team of former contractors and subcontractors gives us an unrivaled understanding of industry pricing and how schedules and costs actually play out in the field. That’s why we build estimates from the drawings up, line by line, reconciling them with your team to eliminate inflated allowances, verify quantities, and protect your investment.

We consider risk with every decision we make. By structuring costs early—tying budgets to schedules, contingencies, and benchmarks—we deliver control budgets you can trust and a framework that will withstand the scrutiny of boards, lenders, and auditors. And because we’re truly independent, there’s no conflict of interest. You get transparent numbers, audit-ready reporting, and a clear plan you can articulate to stakeholders.

At PRA, we know projects are dynamic, scopes evolve, and trajectories change. But the value we add stays the same: predictable outcomes, fewer surprises, and real savings you can measure.

Independent rigor that stands up in the bid room—and the boardroom

Owners reach out to us to validate their budgets. They retain us for our ability to manage them.

Projects move quickly, and critical decisions about costs are often made under pressure. As a leading project controls consultant, PRA keeps budgets from unraveling and projects on schedule. We stress-test concept budgets against benchmarks and geographic factors, using our deep industry insight to separate assumptions from facts. We set baseline budgets and schedules, tie cashflow to milestones, and install project controls that track contingency and allowance drawdowns. Whether you’re procuring materials or already in construction, we close gaps early, tighten numbers, expose risks, and enforce cost discipline. The result: less risk, stronger governance, and more confident decisions.

Project turnarounds you can trust. Controls you can see.

When a project veers off course, you don’t need more activity. You need smarter project controls.

We get to the root of the problem quickly and break down the details to rebuild control. We determine if change orders are legitimate before price is even on the table. We also act as a trusted extension of the owner—enforcing governance, restoring discipline, and steering the project back on course. From interiors to high-rises to data centers, PRA brings the independence owners need, as well as a deep understanding of contractors from our decades in the field. This perspective gives owners leverage while keeping projects on solid financial footing. Whether it’s a project turnaround or a full construction turnaround, we provide the steady hand you need to bring control and confidence back to complex projects.
