Paul Wallerus, CCA Principal
Certified Construction Auditor
Member, National Association of Construction Auditors (NACA)
Paul Wallerus started C&M Construction Consultants, Inc. in November 2003 after identifying the need for construction auditing and other financial related services on commercial construction projects in Minnesota.
His experience over 30 years centers on accounting, auditing, and project management. Over the last 20 years he has worked primarily on construction and real estate projects. Before starting the company, Paul was the project controller for the Wells Fargo Home Mortgage campus in Minneapolis which was over a $200M project with many complex issues and areas to track. As project controller at Wells Fargo, he created a tracking and reporting system that is now being used on all Wells Fargo Home Mortgage construction projects.
The company’s first project designed the construction auditing procedures for the University of Minnesota. As a result of implementing his procedures and utilizing his skills as a financial auditor, the University realized over $2.59M in audit savings and identified another $2.68M in potential savings due to risk reduction and changes in contract language for future projects.
In the 20 years of auditing projects, have audited projects from $100K to $900M and have a very good understanding of all contract types, contractor profit centers and delivery methods
