Training on Change Order Management in EPC Projects
Control Variations. Manage Changes. Protect Project Value.
About the Training
Change orders are an inevitable part of EPC projects due to design modifications, scope changes, site conditions, and client requirements. If not managed effectively, they can lead to cost overruns, delays, disputes, and loss of profitability.
Pertecnica Engineering’s Training on Change Order Management in EPC Projects is designed to equip professionals with practical, industry-oriented techniques to manage variations systematically—from identification and evaluation to approval, execution, and closure.
This program focuses on structured change order processes, impact analysis, documentation, and coordination, enabling participants to maintain control over project scope, cost, and schedule.
