What is a variation register and who should keep it?

Updated

The register is the base of every claim. It shows what changed, when and how much.

How it flows

What is a variation register and who should keep it?1. A change arrives2. Owner adds the line3. Team adds the proof4. Weekly review

Each line links to the proof: the drawing, the email or the site note.

Share it with the site team and the engineers, but let only one person own it. A list that everyone edits goes stale.

Review it weekly, and use the daily sweep to add new lines.

A variation register is one list of every change on a job, with its date, cost, notice date and status. One named person should keep it, usually the project manager or commercial lead.
