ABSTRACT

This case study delves into the complexities of managing changes to

an ongoing construction project’s scope, design, or specifications in
the field of engineering management. The objective of this study is to
approach these challenges from a project management standpoint,
with the aim of assessing the project, suggesting alternative project
delivery methods, pinpointing, and emphasizing additional project
management concerns, and gaining a more comprehensive grasp of
the overall management. It highlights the critical challenge of
evaluating feasibility, negotiating additional costs and timelines with the
client, and updating the project plan to ensure successful project
completion while maintaining client satisfaction in the face of evolving
project requirements.

INTRODUCTION

Innovators Construction company is under a project building a two-story

house structure. The client requires changes to the project scope, design, or
specifications after construction has begun to comply with the planning and
contracting agreements that have been negotiated between the team and the
client. Leading to his demands the client asserts that he wanted Spanish tile
rather than asphalt shingles. Given that working in the construction sector
often involves change orders. Resolving the problems and carrying out the
changes required that correspond with the agreement is pivotal. In being able
to resolve these issues and drive the project successfully and effectively
negotiate with the client request, finalize the changes by creating a program
of works which consists of additional cost referring to the changes. Create a
timeline to assess the length of work for its accomplishment. Lastly, discuss
all the additional cost, work, and the time it takes to accomplish the changes
with the client.

BACKGROUND

The initial stage of the construction process is planning. The project is

situated on a 107 square meter site in the residential neighborhood of
Calamba Laguna. Through the collaboration of the engineers,
architects, and contractors, we are able to evaluate the client's
requirements in this situation. A well-written construction contract
lays out a communication plan and identifies the appropriate people to
contact for questions and updates.

CASE EVALUATION
The worst case in construction project management is when
people have differing expectations. You agree to a roofing
project, but halfway through the job, the homeowner gives you
a call, screaming that he wanted Spanish Tile, not Asphalt
Shingles. Seems silly? It happens every day. The wall needed
rebar, but no rebar was agreed to. The driveway needed hi-
strength concrete because of its final use but that wasn’t
specified. And on and on it goes. The more complex the project,
the more important this becomes. The US Navy lost submarines
because it failed to specify that seawater pipes needed to be
welded rather than brazed. Details matter. This is a scope error.
That is, the deliverable was not specific enough. Because of this,
the work was incorrect, because while the pipes held fine at the
surface, 1,000 feet beneath the waves, a brazed joint isn’t
sufficient.

PROPOSE SOLUTION

A project's success can be severely hampered by improperly managed

change orders. Unresolved change order issues can result in a number of
problems, including increased project costs, delays in achieving contract
deadlines, disruption of work processes, and late project completion. It doesn't
have to be difficult to manage change orders properly. All it requires is some
before planning, comprehension, and frequent contact with all parties
concerned with the project.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, establishing a clear communication flatform with the client to
ensure any scope changes are communicated in a timely and effective
manner. it's important to take the time to fully understand their request
before making any decisions and actions. This means asking questions,
clarifying details, and making sure you have a clear understanding of their
needs and expectations. It also helps to build trust and credibility with the
client, which can be invaluable for future projects. Make sure to evaluate the
impact of the proposed scope change on the project
timeline, budget, and resources before agreeing to it in
order to avoid wasting valuable resources on site.
Furthermore, negotiating scope changes with clients can be
a delicate process. It's important to prioritize requests and
set boundaries to ensure that the project stays on track.

RECOMMENDATION
Planning it and reviewing the budget will help you build
the project.
Appoint trust leaders that can ensure and monitor the
process of the project well.
Finalize all the project procedure and process to avoid
errors and revision during a construction.
Make sure to have a good conversation between General
Manager and the client in order to observe the changes.
At all times have a backup plan in place. In terms of
having an additional resource in the shape of another
contract manufacturer, this satisfied the client's wants or
wants.
Make sure your project contains the proper quantity of
details so that you have enough information about the
details to avoid being misled.
