Variation Order Template

A change that is not confirmed in writing is a change you may never be paid for. This reference format records the scope, the price basis and the time impact before the work is done.

When to use this form

  • An instruction changes the drawings, quantities or specifications
  • Extra or non-schedule items are introduced on site
  • Work is omitted, and the contract allows a deduction for the omission
  • The change also affects the programme, so an EOT notice is triggered

Full process explained in contractor billing & IPC and claims & EOT documentation. Price new items with the rate analysis and calculator tools.
