What is this form for?
You can use this Variation Form (or Change Order) to record changes that are agreed during the course of a building contract.
You will have much less trouble on a project if you have a written record of all changes, both with regard to scope of work and cost as well as any change to the agreed completion date.
What does a variation form contain?
This form is simple and easy to complete. It contains a description of the change plus the cost and time implications. The form also has space for the contract price and completion date to be adjusted.
Use a fresh copy of the Variation Form for each change. You only need to buy it once: all our templates are in MS Word.
You can use it with any of our construction contracts whether you are a self=builder or the client and use our document B152 or a building contractor who uses our B137 which has standard terms and a quotation form.
For general guidance on issues that need to be considered in the contracts for a building project, see our free document Guidance Notes for a Home Builder Z165.
