We encourage exhaustive review and iteration during the pre-construction planning phase, where changes cost nothing. Conversely, post-commencement modifications—commonly known as change orders—disrupt procurement, require structural rework, and incur significant unnecessary expenses. Finalizing the design before breaking ground is critical to maintaining budget integrity.
Key Points:
The Cost of Alteration: On paper, changes cost nothing but time. In the field, changes involve discarding materials, re-engineering structural loads, and paying for additional labor.
Supply Chain & Procurement: Modern construction relies on pre-ordering specific materials. Changing plans mid-stream causes logistical bottlenecks.
Timeline Preservation: Avoidable adjustments during ex*****on stall momentum, extending the project timeline and increasing overhead costs.
