“…The creation of a comfortable and respectful climate in the project is one of the key responsibilities of the project manager. But weak communications and bad stakeholder relationships can lead to the variations order (Mohammad et al, 2010).…”

Among the roles of the project manager in a project execution is to control the occurrence of variation orders. This research aims to determine the project manager's roles in reducing the occurrence of variation orders in a construction project. The research data were gathered via responses from project managers of construction companies via a questionnaire survey. The 122 responses obtained were then analysed using descriptive analysis. Out of the eight (8) project manager roles tested in the questionnaire survey, it was found that all of them are significant in helping to reduce the occurrence of variation orders in a construction project. The most significant role of the project manager in reducing the occurrence of variation orders in a construction project was effective communication between stakeholders. Good transparency in communication initiated by the project manager could avoid conflicts related to the contract documents. This research provides additional information and knowledge for researchers in further research as well as practitioners to constantly reduce the variation order on construction projects.

“…A variation order will change the original work because changes to improve the original work during a construction project are unavoidable (Yadeta, 2010). Variation orders will be made for a reason and the frequency of changes to work instructions during the construction phase will likely result in significant changes to the original works contract, which will have a negative impact on all parties involved in the sector (Mohammad et al, 2022). Variation Orders is often a reason for construction projects exceeding projects budget and delays it is a global problem (Alhadithi et al, 2021).…”

Tangerang is a big city in Indonesia. The housing sector rocketing in this region. Changes in development often occur because problems arise and have an impact on costs and time. Researchers focused on finding the cause of the work diverting residential channels being hampered. For this reason, changes were made to the sheetpile design and changes to the infrastructure mobilization method to meet the contract time. The research uses the SEM PLS method to determine the factors causing order variations. In addition, the data processing application was used to determine the effect of order variations on time and cost performance. The respondents were 60 owners and consultants. Based on the results of the cost performance analysis, additional work arising from order variations reached 10,516,305,346 IDR and reduced work due to order variations reached 6,628,461,533 IDR or around 12.96% of the initial contract price and the results of time performance analysis for time losses that occurred due to order variations on the project showed an additional time of 5 months or 125%.

“…Taxonomies play a crucial role in knowledge management systems by facilitating the systematic classification of knowledge. While some efforts have been made to classify change causes in construction projects, a lack of systematic classification, uniform vocabulary, and a comprehensive structure impedes effective change management for industry practitioners [4].…”

“…Hence, a list of change causes was prepared and refined in a way that combines the findings of the literature survey and questionnaire survey. (4) The subcategories were specified, and the change causes were assigned to these subcategories by conducting focus group discussion (FGD) sessions. The most appropriate structure was determined by examining existing taxonomies and a three-level hierarchical taxonomy was proposed accordingly.…”

Contracting parties in construction projects confront significant challenges due to changes. This is an inherent industry characteristic. Managing changes properly with the help of a taxonomy encompassing many of the causes of changes can have a longitudinal and positive effect on project performance, knowledge management, and stakeholder management. However, studies to date have failed to propose an in-depth taxonomy for change causes in construction projects. Therefore, a taxonomy for change causes that can be applied to different construction projects has been developed. First, a systematic literature review and desk study sessions were conducted to identify the initial list of the taxonomy components. Six case studies were then analyzed to reveal the change causes of these cases. Based on the extracted change causes from the literature review and case studies, a taxonomy was developed by conducting focus group discussions with six experts. In the next step, the applicability and validity of the refined taxonomy were evaluated through face-to-face interviews. As a result, a taxonomy with a three-level hierarchy was proposed. This taxonomy is divided into three levels with 13 main categories, 50 subcategories, and 52 change causes. The proposed taxonomy is expected to contribute to practice by reducing the frequency of changes through proactive management of potential changes and standardizing knowledge management practices for managing change.
