Frequently Asked Questions
How can I send this Variation Order Request?
The way in which most construction and industrial companies share this Variation Order Request is either via email or automated workflows. If you don't work with this client, contractor or 3rd party often, then it will likely make the most sense to send the request as part of an email or letter. If you work with this party regularly, then you can setup automated workflows so that they get notified when a variation order request is made, where they can view, respond and signoff electronically. Both sharing methods are easy.
How does this differ from a Variation Order Request letter?
The great thing about a proper variation order request form is that it gives your request proper structure, and makes it look and feel professional. You can also attach photo and video evidence to form fields, to illustrate whu a variation is required. Writing letters or emails is okay, but you simply can't structure information in the same way, nor gather signatures and other communication in a formal document, which can lead to disputes and issues later down the line.
How will someone respond to my request?
If you setup automated workflows for your variation order requests, then the other party can respond to your request via electronic comments and signatures. If you send the PDF form with an email or letter, then obviously they will simply respond to that email or letter.
