This construction variation template is free to use and helps make the task of recording, tracking and managing variations easier and more reliable for all parties involved.

Construction projects almost never go to plan - which is why we plan for variations and have standard variation forms.

A variation is an alteration to the scope of works laid out in a construction contract. It can take the form of an addition, substitution or complete omission with some of the normal variations involving:

• Unplanned changes to original designs
• Alteration to quantities and work scope
• Changes to planned working conditions

All of these variations, and every other event classified as a contract variation must be documented with a proper variation form. This form is used to inform the participating and accountable contractors of the variation - and how it fits into the overall project landscape in terms of planned contingencies and current variations outstanding.

This complete construction variation form template comes pre-built with all the fields you need to complete, share and signoff on those inevitable project variations:

• Date selector for variation lodged
• Principal contractor dropdown selector
• project manager responsible dropdown
• Variation summary table
• New upcoming variations table and supporting photo upload
