Variation Orders in Construction Projects

Abstract

Construction projects are complex long term projects with multiple parties involved. They bring together different disciplines and require them to work coherently in a designated area within a specified time to construct a structure. Since these projects are big and complex projects, it may require important decisions to be taken during the construction and therefore changes along the ways are inevitable. It is almost impossible to plan a construction project without subjecting it to change during the construction phase. While these changes may stem from so many different reasons like material quality, change in design, time considerations, etc., they should be handled carefully. Possible changes must be foreseen before the start of the construction phase and minimized as much as possible.
