About the Topic
‘Challenges with Change’ will look at the different ways in which changes evolve and occur in construction projects, and the ways in which these challenging situations can be met.
Standard procedures for change management, or change control, can be effective but predictably will not cover every eventuality. Some of the common problems leading to delays and disputes will be discussed and potential strategies to deal with those problems identified.

How to recognise change?
Must understand the contents of the contract.
During the project, Contractor may be issued with docs from
Employer or an event that is a change and Contractor is entitled
to a change in the Price and / or completion date.

Change
Read the contract and understand the baseline
Identify a change has occurred
Be aware that changes will occur
Appreciate that the correct contractual process may not always be followed
Refer back to the baseline as a reference point
Constantly monitor events, occurrences, and communications to identify the
cause or effect of change:
Drawings - new, revised, on hold
Progress updates
Cost reports

Change – The Programme
If the Contract does not contain a programme the Contract will call for
a programme to be submitted for approval within a period of time.
NEC –period stated in the Contract Data Part One (31)
JCT – “As soon as possible after the execution of this contract ,if not
previously provided ….”(2.9)
This programme MUST represent the Contractor’s tender programme,
i.e. the information upon which the tender was based.
This programme must NOT have included within it anything other than
the information contained in the Contract.

Change
Standard forms define and categorise change:
NEC3 – Compensation Event
FIDIC – Variation
JCT FORM – Relevant Event
PPC 2000 – Change order
IChemE – Variation
Other – Relief event
Each contract sets out whether each type of change gives the Contractor time and/or money as a result of the change, or is a Contractor risk item.

Low Volume / High Value Change
Typically found on larger civil engineering schemes, a limited number of high value changes cause:
Challenges
Can take time to price & programme
Important to capture all of the effects
Extended time needed to price
Time needed to liaise with supply chain
Time needed to carry out design work
Strategy
Allow adequate time and programme the assessment period
Allow adequate resources

Issue 1 - High Volume / Low Value Change
May be found on complex building projects, such as refurbishment of listed structures, or change of use. For example 5000 minor changes can the following cause:
Challenges
5,000 minor changes, each under £1,000
Each may have negligible effect of itself
Measured together the cumulative impact can be significant
Change on change can be an issue
![Page 21: Project Cotrols Expo · Project Controls Expo –16th Nov 2016 Emirates Stadium, London . About the Speaker Mark Wheeler Global Chief Operating Officer of Driver Trett Head of DIALES](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042913/5f499a1b923278314531e52e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Change on change
In the scenario with 5,000 minor changes.
Each change can be very simple in terms of costs of labour and materials to asses, although the effect on programme and preliminary costs could be too small to measure.
Sometimes things change, and then change again or change back.
However
Several hundred, or even thousand, minor items could have an enormous cumulative effect.

Strategy
If you are planning to change or circumvent the contract
procedure, this must be agreed in writing by:
The other party(s)
Persons with sufficient authority
Any affected members of the supply chain
Are you using the right form of contract for the volume
and value of change anticipated?

Issue 2 - Sequential Change
Scenario - A new office development is under way and the ground floor slab is reaching completion, bricklayers are due to start the internal partitions in two weeks time.

Scenario
After a meeting on site, it becomes clear to the Contractor that the Architect is considering making some changes to the layout of the walls on the ground floor.

Contract Process
Assuming an NEC 3 contract, next steps are:
Issue an early warning notice;
Project Manager instructs work to stop or not to start
and/or;
Requests a quotation.
How long does this process take?

Challenges?
Where will progress be in 5 weeks’ time?
Should the Contractor start to erect the block work,
possibly to knock it down in few weeks?
Should the Contractor stop and wait?
Or build walls that may get knocked down again?
Order lintols, that may not be needed?

Challenges?
Always follow the contract.
Progress works in accordance with the programme.
Assume timing of instruction as per contract.
Allow costs of demolition to perform to programme.
Allow costs of new build .
Agree any deviations from the contract in writing.

Conclusions
Considering the likely type and volume of change upfront will inform the process.
Don’t be afraid to suggest change to a process that is not working.
Processes in the contract can be changed, by agreement.
Ensure you use the right form of contract.
