Descriptions: These changes are often subjective, driven by a change in aesthetics or functionality desired by the client. Unforeseen Site Conditions: Examples: Discovery of outdated wiring or unexpected structural issues after project kickoff. Descriptions: These are typically due to hidden elements not apparent during initial inspections. Material Availability: Examples: Unavailability of selected materials or delays in delivery from suppliers. Descriptions: This can lead to selecting alternative materials, affecting both cost and timelines. Regulatory Changes: Examples: New local building codes or safety regulations introduced during the project. Descriptions: Compliance to these codes may require redesigns or additional work.
