Since 2008, Construction Audit and Cost Control Institute, Inc. has provided professional development training seminars and conferences designed to help Owner representatives, including their outside consultants, refine and improve their approach to managing and auditing construction activity.

The Construction Audit & Cost Control Institute, Inc. (CAACCI) was formed as a Corporation in 2008 for the purpose of providing professional development training to Owner representatives involved in managing and auditing construction activity.  

​

CAACCI is affiliated with R. L. Townsend & Associates, LLC which is a construction audit/construction cost control consulting firm that was established in 1984.  The Co-Owners of both companies include Rich Townsend and Debbie Townsend both of whom are actively involved in managing construction audit activity for a wide variety of Client organizations throughout the United States and Canada.  Their consulting firm currently consists of approximately 30 professional construction cost control consultants.

​

From 1985 to 2008, Rich Townsend (in affiliation with Courtenay Thompson Associates) provided seminars entitled "Effective Auditing of Construction Activity" through The Institute of Internal Auditors. 

 

During the same period, Rich Townsend also provided seminars entitled "Controlling Construction Costs" and "Managing Construction Activity"  through the University of Wisconsin School of Business Management Institute. 

​​

We began hosting all of our public offering training seminars and conferences through the Construction Audit & Cost Control Institute (CAACCI) beginning in 2008.  For examples of past events we have hosted please refer to the PAST EVENTS section of this website.

 

Finally, in addition to hosting public offering professional development seminars and conferences, CAACCI representatives including Rich Townsend, Debbie Townsend and Ashley Humphries have presented in-house training seminars (either in-person or virtually) for a wide variety of Owner organizations throughout the Unites States and Canada.  Recent examples include in-house seminars for private universities,  public universities, cities, airport authorities, school districts, and healthcare organizations.

​

Our training seminars and conference hosted events benefit directly from our R. L. Townsend & Associates, LLC real-world experiences working with our client organizations when performing construction cost control construction consulting and construction contract compliance audits.  Our training is based on sharing experiences versus just training that is based on theory.​
