I spent a decade performing these audits by hand. So I built the system that performs them.
Fewer than 4% of construction firms keep a dedicated project controls team. On most capital programs nobody with the right expertise reviews the contractor’s monthly schedule update, payment application, or change proposals. Ridgeline sells the review, not the record.
