Project Controls Pricing Built for Clarity and Scale
Our pricing is structured around portfolio needs, providing predictable costs and flexible support without per-project instability.
- Our Model
Our Portfolio model - optimized by portfolio scale
Every organization operates differently. Some run dozens of small projects a year, while others focus on a handful of large, complex builds. Instead of charging per project — which is inaccurate and unfair — APS prices Project Controls based on the portfolio capacity we support.
This ensures:
- You get a full project controls team, not a partial or limited service
- Pricing remains stable and predictable
- You’re never penalized for adding more projects
- You’re never forced into awkward per-project negotiations
The value we deliver stays the same:
Structure, visibility, discipline, and forecasting across your entire operation.

Answers To Your Questions
Why We Price by Portfolio — Not Per Project
Clients often ask:
“If I only have 5 projects this year, shouldn’t I pay less?”
Here’s why the answer is no — and why it benefits you.
1. You are purchasing a full project controls team
Whether you run 5 projects or 50, the team size and responsibilities remain the same.
Baseline setup, reporting cadence, forecasting, and risk tracking do not shrink with fewer projects.
2. Predictability requires continuous monitoring
Project Controls is a system, not a task.
Even one project requires:
- Cost tracking
- Schedule analysis
- Risk reporting
- Monthly dashboards
- Stakeholder updates
The workload remains constant.
3. Unused capacity = Faster, higher-quality service
If you run fewer projects, the team spends more time improving accuracy, foresight, and reporting, not less.
4. Per-project pricing is misleading and causes instability
Projects vary too widely in size and complexity to be priced individually.
5. Portfolio pricing gives you freedom to scale
You can add or remove projects any time without cost changes — ideal for growing businesses.
What if we don’t use the full portfolio capacity?
Great — that means your team gets even more time, focus, and forecasting accuracy from APS.
What if we exceed the typical capacity?
We simply move you to the next tier, but only if sustained workload truly requires it.
How does this compare to hiring internal staff?
A single full-time Project Controller starts around $120,000/year, not including benefits. APS provides an entire team for significantly less.
Do you offer month-to-month?
No, due to baseline setup and the ongoing nature of controls. Minimum is 3 months.
Why do you price by portfolio instead of per project?
Because you are purchasing a project controls system—not individual tasks.
If I have fewer projects, shouldn’t the price be lower?
No. Whether managing 5 projects or 50, the required controls infrastructure remains the same—baseline setup, reporting cadence, forecasting, and risk monitoring do not scale down linearly.
Does unused capacity mean wasted cost?
Not at all. When capacity is not fully utilized, the controls team focuses on deeper analysis, improved forecasting accuracy, proactive risk identification, and higher-quality reporting.
Why is per-project pricing misleading?
Projects vary widely in size, complexity, and risk. Per-project pricing creates instability, inconsistency, and misaligned incentives that ultimately reduce control quality.
Can I add or remove projects during the engagement?
Yes. Portfolio pricing gives you complete flexibility to scale projects up or down without pricing changes—ideal for dynamic construction pipelines.
