Variation Assessments
Variation Assessments.
As soon as contracts are let and site work starts, everything’s a potential variable. Change, as we know, is one of construction’s few certainties.
For example, a services detail requires amendment and time has to be allowed to update the architectural drawings. The architect instructs alternative fittings and a change order is required. Or site conditions change, and so does the scope of work.
Remember too, the implications of non-productive subcontractor overtime. Can you really do this in-house?
