Worked on the financial analysis of an interior woodwork and installation project for a client. I structured the project costs across materials, factory and fitting labour, polishing, interior labour, direct expenses and manufacturing overhead. I then calculated the total project cost, analysed project profitability, and used the cost structure to establish pricing and cost benchmarks for similar future projects.
I analysed the financials of a furniture manufacturing project by breaking down material, labour, and manufacturing overhead costs. I then evaluated profitability, identified the major cost drivers, and developed practical insights around material efficiency, labour efficiency, and pricing for similar future projects.
