TSD Ventures’ approach is based on the following tenets:
A realistic budget must be established as early as possible with the full participation of the project members.
All pricing, including labor rates and unit prices, must be negotiated aggressively.
Clear expectations for performance and schedule must be established in all contracts.
Project costs must be monitored regularly against the budget, and all project members, including the Client, must be notified promptly of any actions that affect cost.
The change order approval process must track all costs and ensure that the expenses are bonafide and not redundant.
