Crew, kit and edit suites — costed against the budget that was signed off.
Crew and equipment are committed by date, so a shoot that moves costs money whether or not it happens. Consaya runs a production from approved treatment to final delivery with the budget attached, so the overage shows up while there is still time to do something about it.
Cost the production by phase — pre-production, shoot days, post — with crew, talent, kit and locations priced separately so the client approves a real number.
Filming permits, location agreements and talent releases sit on the job checklist, because a crew without one is a day of rates paid for nothing.
Track crew bookings, kit hire and per-day costs against the production while it is running, not after the invoices land.
One review round is part of the plan rather than an argument at the end — which is what stops a fixed-fee edit running to five.
Record deliverable versions and the usage licence period, then invoice the balance against the approved budget.
Filming permits and location fees are tracked as job costs, and fees paid on the client’s behalf can be recharged as pure-agent disbursements rather than your turnover.
