Control · Change Management

Every change priced, logged and closed.

A change control process that captures every potential change early, prices it fairly, shows its effect on the schedule and closes it before it becomes a claim.

Why it matters.

01

Unlogged changes become disputes

Verbal directions and field changes that are never documented come back months later as claims nobody can verify.

02

Pending changes hide the overrun

A forecast that ignores changes still being negotiated is a forecast that is already wrong. Exposure needs to be visible before approval.

03

Time gets forgotten

Changes are often priced for cost and approved without anyone checking the schedule. The days show up later as a delay claim.

Our approach

How we work.

  1. 01

    Early change capture

    Potential changes logged as soon as they are identified, from RFIs, design revisions, field conditions or owner requests.

  2. 02

    Independent pricing review

    Change proposals checked for scope, quantities, rates and markups against the contract and current market data.

  3. 03

    Schedule impact

    Each change assessed against the current schedule, so time and cost are agreed together and nothing comes back as a delay claim.

  4. 04

    Approval workflow

    Clear authority levels, decision deadlines and documentation, so changes move quickly without skipping governance.

  5. 05

    Trend and exposure reporting

    Approved, pending and potential changes rolled into the forecast every period, with trends by cause and party.

In practice · Mixed-Use Tower

Three owners. One change log.

The mixed-use tower had three owners sharing one building and one schedule. We set up a single change process that priced every change, assessed its schedule effect and allocated the cost to the right owner, so changes were closed on time instead of argued over at the end.

Questions clients ask us.

How do you check a change order price?

We review scope, quantities, labor and material rates and markups against the contract terms, then compare with our own independent estimate.

Should every change include a schedule analysis?

Every change should at least be screened for time. Where it touches the critical path, a time impact analysis settles the days before they turn into a dispute.

Can you clear a backlog of unresolved changes?

Yes. We triage the backlog by value and risk, price and document each item, and support negotiations until the log is closed.

Who approves changes in your process?

You do. We design the approval levels around your governance and give decision makers the analysis they need to approve quickly.
