Improving Change Order Management in Public Infrastructure Projects

Abhiram Reddy Anireddy

Abstract: Major projects of driving infrastructure are normally set back in the overall benefits of a project due to delays, scope changes, and overruns. One of the primary causes of these issues can be viewed as inefficient change order management. Even minor wastes could backtrack a lot under resource-strained environments. There is a significant need to manage change orders rather carefully and in advance, with the changes in urban needs or the development of more complex projects. The exposition examines the reasons behind change orders, the problems they pose, and their possible resolution. It provides real case studies, supporting facts, and helpful tools that can increase the planning, supervising, and implementing of public infrastructure projects.
