Variations
The Variations tab holds the project's change orders. You raise one by hand, from work above the BOQ, from a site update or from an RFI with a cost impact. The owner, project managers and the QS prepare them; accountants can read them.
Step by step
- 1Press New variation, write What changed, the reason, the client instruction ref and any extra days asked, then press Create the variation.
- 2Or, under Work above the BOQ, not raised yet, press Raise a variation on a line: the form opens filled in. Press No variation needed if it doesn't need one.
- 3Open the variation and use Add a line: take the rate from a BOQ line, from the rate library, or type it. Attach the client's instruction with Attach a file.
- 4Press Send to the client. When the client answers, press Record the client's decision: approved, partly approved (by line or as a total) or rejected.
- 5Switch between Open, Approved and All to filter the list. Print / PDF prints a variation.
What you see on the screen
- 6The line at the top adds up the approved variations, and those waiting on the client (sent, not yet decided).
- 7Each variation shows its status: Draft, With the client, Approved, Partly approved or Rejected, and its amount (the approved amount once decided).
