Rethinking Job and Cash Forecasting in Construction Finance

In today’s construction environment, forecasting failures are no longer just a finance problem—they’re a business risk.

Long project timelines, ongoing cost and labor volatility, tighter credit conditions and increased scrutiny from banks, sureties and insurers have raised the bar for forecast accuracy and discipline. Yet many construction finance teams are still relying on processes that break down under macroeconomic pressure.

This webinar explores why job and cash forecasts break down—and how leading teams use CPM technology to stay ahead.

Sarah Martin, associate director of forecasting for Dodge Construction Network, will share a Q2 construction outlook with data on project starts, market momentum and what finance leaders should plan for.

Ally Tinebra, controller at Western Allied Mechanical, will share lessons learned on strengthening job and cash forecasting to improve margin control and improve financial confidence

Attendees will learn how to:

• Identify common job and cash forecasting breakdowns and how to correct them
• Improve forecast accuracy and consistency without adding unnecessary complexity
• Detect risk earlier on underperforming projects
• Gain earlier visibility into margin and cash risk to support better decisions with lenders, sureties and leadership
• Align finance and operations around more reliable, job-level insight and increase confidence in cash planning and financial visibility

Through real examples, economic context and practical frameworks, this session will equip construction finance professionals with strategies they can apply immediately to build more resilient forecasts and a more predictable, confident business.
