Authorized Variations in Work Clause Samples

The 'Authorized Variations in Work' clause defines the process by which changes to the originally agreed-upon scope of work can be formally approved and implemented. Typically, this clause outlines who has the authority to request or approve modifications, the procedures for documenting such changes, and how adjustments to cost or timelines will be handled. For example, if a client requests additional features or modifications during a construction project, these must be authorized in writing before work proceeds. The core function of this clause is to ensure that any deviations from the original contract are managed transparently and with mutual agreement, thereby preventing disputes and maintaining control over project scope and costs.
