At times during the Works the Employer may wish to assess whether it wants to undertake a Variation. This will most likely be for one of two reasons:
- The Variation is not needed but is a nice to have and the Employer wants to know what the cost and impact would be; or
- The Variation is necessary, but it has the option of having someone else do it once the Works are complete
In such a situation, it has the option to seek a Variation Quotation to assess the impact of the proposed change without immediately incurring the full cost.
Alongside this is a separate but linked process for assessing the cost of accelerating the Works.
