- Abstract
- Two things can be said about almost any engineering and construction project: (1) there will be changes made during the course of construction, and (2) the owner and the constructor will seldom initially agree on the total effect those changes have on the cost and schedule of the project. This publication examines the subject of changes, identifies potential impacts on project costs and schedule, and provides guidance for evaluating those impacts. It is based in part on CII-supported research performed by the University of California-Berkeley. That research has resulted in the publishing of the CII source document, "Changes and Change Orders: Their Magnitude and Impact", which details results of a literature search and field studies of three projects.
