How do I summarise a variation claim for the project team?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Start with the reason for the variation and its impact on cost or time. Include any relevant documents, like RFIs or quotes from subbies. Keep it clear and concise. Use bullet points for key details to make it easy to read.
Key points
- State the variation reason clearly.
- Include cost and time impact.
- Attach relevant documents.
A good summary makes it easy for the project team to understand the variation without sifting through pages of documents. Focus on the essentials and make sure all the important info is easy to spot. Bullet points help a lot here.
