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.

It would be really great if viewers can see examples and the way of clamming the variation through the documents that you previously worked in

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

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?

[@CEPQS]

Maybe better to make a video on this in the future. 👍

Thank you for the content, sir. Btw I bought your course quantity surveying on udemy but it is no longer available on the platform. Is there something wrong?

[@wajidsaleem7311]

Same problem with me

[@friendsgroup3330]

Dear Sir, EOT (the extension of time) is another form of Variation with or without a change in price of the contract. Thank you.

[@CEPQS]

EOT is a claim so it can be considered as a variation without cost if no cost is claimed 👍

[@sk-yw8pz]

Very nice video , add some examples with calculations also

[@CEPQS]

Will do that in some other videos 👍🙂

[@CEPQS]

Thank you for watching and support 🙏

[@sk-yw8pz]

Thank you bro for new informative videos

[@hendriksaldua8208]

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

[@technology4453]

Thanks

[@michaelnguyen3398]

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?

[@CEPQS]

I believe it says the contractor shall not make any alterations without engineer’s instructions or approval. Hard to answer actually 😃, but if instructions are there then rights are preserved 👍. Contractor may proceed and agree the value in parallel to avoid delaying the works.

Thank you for your videos its helpful, but i prefer to remove the music because we need to focus on the information it self no need for the sound effect .. thank u again

[@CEPQS]

Understood and thank you for watching. All the best 👍

[@aqtharaqadomaths9300]

Sir please add MEP measurement taking short cuys

[@rosiubaith5786]

Please give example for quantity and item ?? Client wants additional door in a room ?? Is it item or quantity ???

[@CEPQS]

If the door has a rate already in the BOQ, then it is Ana additional quantity. If it is a new door with new specs, then new item 😊

[@muhanadal-kamali6034]

Dear Eng. Ahmad...The impact of variation on the Project Period is not explained
