How to Avoid Change Order Conflicts?

One of the most significant construction site disruptions doesn't come from the weather, unavailability of materials or broken-down equipment—it's from the client. Last-minute changes and demands of the project can turn the entire project on its ear. Preparation is the best way to protect the workflow. Even the included clause in the contract that specifies the consequences if a client makes changes after the job is underway, is even neglected and taken for granted. The exact details will depend on the project but could include things like an extended deadline and additional funding. Communication will also make a difference here. Parties should clearly address the reason why a client needs a change, and work to manage their expectations for the updated timeline and costs. Clients must also understand that changes incur additional cost from the original contract, additional tools and equipment, additional manpower, additional materials that will also add working days on the original deadline.
