Record a change to the work

Keep the finding and evidence on the Project before proposing a Variation.

On this page

Record a Customer request or unexpected finding on the Project. Decide separately whether it changes the agreed work or price.

1. Record the finding

Open the Project’s Notes, choose Add note and describe the change. Include where it was found, what is known and what still needs checking. Choose Team visibility when colleagues need to review it.

Add supporting images or documents in Files.

2. Review the effect

Check the existing Quote, the Estimate and the planned Visits. Work out whether the finding affects scope, cost or timing. Keep internal discussion separate from a Customer-facing offer.

A note or drawing mark is not acceptance of extra work.

3. Prepare a Variation

Open Variations on the Project and choose Add variation. Enter a name and What is changing?, then create the proposal.

Follow prepare and agree a Variation to review the scope, price and recipient before sending.

4. Keep the Project current

Update the planned Visits when the schedule needs to change. Keep the accepted proposal and later billing separate: agreeing a Variation does not automatically issue its Invoice.

If saving is interrupted, retry the existing note or proposal and inspect the saved record before creating another.
