Forensics Study of Change Orders

A study commissioned by UC Davis to analyze change orders on completed construction projects to determine causes and sub-causes of construction changes in order to facilitate avoidance of similar changes in the future. PRIMEbusiness examined every change on 7 distinct projects, determined the root cause of each change, documented the cost of the change and tabulated the findings. This study culminated in an Avoidance Strategy Report that serves as a basis for what “not to do” when documenting a project.
