Faire face à des changements de conception sur site peut être intimidant, mais la clé d’une transition en douceur réside dans la façon dont vous communiquez avec les entrepreneurs. Voici comment garder les choses sur la bonne voie :
- Établissez un calendrier de vérification régulier pour discuter des progrès et des changements.
- Utilisez des aides visuelles comme des diagrammes ou des maquettes pour transmettre clairement les concepts de conception.
- Encouragez un dialogue ouvert pour recueillir les commentaires et les préoccupations de l’équipe contractante.

Document Everything: Ensure all changes are documented in writing, with clear instructions and sign-offs from both parties. This reduces misunderstandings and creates a reference for future discussions. Leverage Technology: Use project management tools or apps to share updates and track progress in real-time. This keeps everyone on the same page, regardless of their location. Build Trust: Take the time to build strong relationships with contractors. Trust fosters cooperation and makes it easier to navigate challenges together.
This document should detail the nature of the change, reasons for the change, any impacts on cost and schedule, and the new scope of work. Arrange a meeting with the contractor and key project team members to review the design changes. Discuss how the change affects the construction schedule, costs, and any other aspects of the project. Ensure that any changes are reflected in the contractual documents, including the project schedule, cost estimates, and scope of work. Conduct regular site inspections to ensure that the design changes are being implemented as specified.Ensure that the change complies with the terms of the contract. This may include adjusting payment terms or deadlines as necessary.
The timing of communicating with subcontractors, informing them of updates, and following up on their implementation as soon as they appear and are approved can have a positive impact on completing the work in the correct manner and at the appropriate time.

It’s important to establish a communication chain of command on a construction project. The superintendent on a project is typically the main point of contact for the general contractor. The contract documents, including the drawings, specifications, change order forms and requests for information establish the basis for all construction communication. It is important that any direct communication not outlined in the contract documents receives proper authorization and any changes to the scope or schedule that need to be made are documented and reported through the proper channels.
