Managing Variations in Construction Projects - Key Principles

Visit www.rics.org/asean/training-events for more information.

---------------------------------------------------------

Overview

Works which are not expressly or impliedly included in the original contract price are generally termed variation whether they represent a change or alteration of the original work, or simply an addition to or an omission from it.

Variation is one of the main reasons that a contract can fall into dispute and it is important to issue, value and then manage a variation to a contract properly to avoid this potentially costly delay.

This online training will provide a fundamental understanding of the considerations in issuing and managing a variation as well as methods and processes for managing variations in projects.

Learning objectives

• Formats of instructing variations
• Provisional sums
• Methods and examples of valuing variations
