Successful change management relies on four core principles:
Understand Change.
Plan Change.
Implement Change.
Communicate Change.
Change management is an essential part of the management of the construction phase. Changes can come from factors such as differing site conditions, errors and omissions, construction phase value proposals, delays, or owner revisions. Regardless of the genesis, all additional costs must be analyzed for merit and impact on the construction schedule.
M.C.E.S has a formalized change management process for identifying, evaluating, and documenting changes that occur during project execution. The process includes tools that assist in selecting which changes should be implemented. The tracking tools monitor the cumulative impact on schedule and budget.
