Close the change before it becomes a claim.
Risk and change management that prices each change for cost and time, keeps the log current and closes items while the facts are fresh. Small changes settled in weeks never grow into a global claim.
How changes turn into disputes.
Time reserved for later
Changes approved for cost with time reserved. A year on, the contractor asks for an extension assembled from fifty small reservations.
A log nobody trusts
Pending, rejected and duplicate items mixed together. Nobody in the room can say what the real exposure is.
A notice deadline missed
Contracts set strict notice periods. Miss one and a valid entitlement, or a valid defense, can be lost for good.
How we manage change.
- 01
Read the contract first
Change, notice, claim and dispute clauses mapped into a simple calendar, so every deadline is tracked from day one.
- 02
One change log
Every potential change from first notice to executed order, with status, value, time requested and the person who owns the next step.
- 03
Price cost and time together
Each change gets an independent cost check and, where it touches the critical path, a time impact analysis on the current schedule.
- 04
Close as you go
Weekly reviews keep items moving. Every item closed this month is one less argument at substantial completion.
- 05
Keep the record
Correspondence, minutes and daily reports filed against each change, so its history is ready if it is ever questioned.
What you walk away with.
Scoped to your project. Native files and plain-English outputs that stay yours when we leave.
Every potential and approved change with value, time, status, owner and next action, reviewed every week.
Notice, response and claim deadlines pulled from the contract and tracked against each open item.
Independent check of labor, materials, equipment and markups on each change request, with a recommended value.
Fragnets inserted into the current schedule to show whether a change truly delays completion, and by how many days.
Approved, pending and potential change value and time, rolled into the cost forecast and the board report.
Thirty-one bridges, one clean change log.
Twenty-two miles of new express lanes and 31 bridges, built design-build over 58 months beside traffic that never stops. Traffic phases, utility relocations and design revisions generate change every week. Each one is priced for cost and tested for time before approval, so nothing is left for the end of the job.

Where this work has run.
Straight answers to fair questions.
Do you work for owners or contractors?
Both, on different projects. On any single project we represent one party, and we say so at the start.
What is a time impact analysis?
A method that inserts the changed work into the current schedule as a small network of activities and measures the effect on completion. It is the most common way to price time for a change.
We already have a pile of open changes. Where do you start?
With the log. We clean it, rank items by value and deadline, and close the easy ones first. The hard ones get analysis and, if needed, Delay Analysis & Claims support.
