What is an expenditure? An expenditure is the amount of money spent for a certain project.

What does an expenditure report look like? The District will present the project lists for the year and a report with the cost associated with that project. The report will be broken down by site and project type. You will review soft costs and hard costs.

What is "soft cost"? Soft costs related to a project may include design costs for architects or engineers, plan submission costs, or surveys of the existing building or site.

What is "hard cost"? Hard costs included the actual work related to the project such as demolition, construction, furnishings, and fixtures.
