Small changes = Big Results

Some contractors need to handle variations or changes, whatever they're called in your particular contract, in a specific way. What often happens is a lot of people wait until a change comes in, change comes in, change comes in, and then they bundle them all into one big change and then try and get approved. That seems logical because it's just one submission. That works for them because they'll reject it because you haven't hit your notice claims a lot. But for you, you're better off getting them in in small little chunks. They're happy to approve smaller things. And then also for you, at the end of a project, if there's ever a dispute and you're like, look at all these changes, they're constantly disrupting the project. So getting smaller things across the line is easier and actually helps you out in the dispute at the end of the project. So focusing on how quickly you can turn around paperwork on a construction project is one of the biggest moneymakers you can have for getting more margin in the post-award phase.
