Variations In Construction Projects Explained

In this video I walk you through variations in construction projects, including what is a variation, and the different types of variations, and also what changes in construction projects that will lead to a variation, and most importantly what are the steps to account for and execute the variations. I hope you enjoy the video

Variation means a deviation or change from the original scope of works/design/.

Variation Process

1. Notice of Variation - informs client of change stating it involves this cost impact.

2. Confirmation of Variation - Client reviews and confirms.

3. Request for Variation Order - a comparison between existing and new program of works illustrating cost for works needed. This also begs the formal amendment of existing contract.

4. Variation Order - a document like a purchase order issued by the client to the contractor to formally include works that will be financially accounted for towards the contractor.

Hi Sir, i commented on your other video but that comment is more related to this video, Thanks for bringing me to this video link. Just a follow-up question about contract especially for variation order. First, My understanding about the calculation of variation order that it should be in detailed (same as class 1 estimate). Is it possible for a contractor to submit a variation order in a form of re-measurement? Or lumpsum?

Hi Engr.Ahmed, as watched your another videos for IPC and to deduct 10% of retentions from every month IPC, So
for issuing variation amount to contractor, is the retention amount will also impact on variation amount or it will be fully issued to contractors? Thanks

As per the FIDIC contract, the contractor must execute the variations works even when they still haven't received the approval of their variations. Do you think that is the risk that must be accepted by contractors?

If the programme is changed by concurrently managed variations that increase value, will the cash flow forecast alter?
