In South Africa we call it a variation order

[@DandDgamer]

How do you avoid missing things in change orders? Example being, an indoor soffit detail was removed in a room with wall tile. Suddenly wall tile doesn't go up high enough because there's more exposed wall. No one noticed initially. Do you have a process you use to reference proposed changes thoroughly against existing documents without it taking too long?

[@MoTaghavi]

many contractors price the bid low so that they can make that up with variations. how do you see that ?

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

I don’t like that practice as a whole. Change orders are just a huge waste of time and rarely profitable for the trade doing them. I’d rather have planned work priced properly. My favorite quote is that lowest bid does not mean lowest cost.

[@MoTaghavi]

@@jasonwilliamschroeder but if you bid high, you will be out of the market soon in a tight market. It is very complicated.

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

@@MoTaghavi I agree. I would price it right and show the client the delta with your competitors and tell the story of what their end cost will be either way

Wohoo first one here! Jason, what is the best way for a Tradesman with a PMP to get a project management job with a GC or builder?

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

Actually I don't know. I have been trying to figure that out. I am worried that recruiters aren't considering talent that would be great outside of a CM degree. Working on finding out though.

[@goldenmilk3741]

This is just what I’m thinking. I’m pretty young so take what I’m saying with a grain of salt. You might be able to form a relationship with a super/PM you’re working with on a job. Maybe they could recommend you. They would probably offer you less than what you make right now as a tradesman if you get hired. But you get benefits, don’t have to break your body, etc. and after a year or two or three you pick things up and start earning just as much as you were and continue to climb. One buddy of mine formed a relationship w the gc as an inspector and basically took that path. A connection is what you need if you don’t have a CM degree. Maybe you can apply and someone picks you up but I’d imagine you’ve already been doing that.

Big industry. Small world. Having strong advocates that will vouch for me is what I have benefited from
