Control · Change & Contract Management

Every change priced, scheduled and closed.

Change and contract management that logs every potential change, prices it, tests its time impact and drives it to closure. Fewer open items, faster decisions and a clean record if anything is disputed.

Open changes turn into claims.

01

Money settled, time left open

A change order settles the cost and leaves the days unresolved. Months later the delay returns as a claim.

02

Notice periods missed

Contracts set deadlines for notice of changes and delays. Miss one and a valid entitlement can be lost.

03

A log nobody owns

RFIs, potential changes and field directives scattered across email, with no single status anyone trusts.

What Beck Franklin does

How we manage change.

  1. 01

    One change register

    Every RFI, field directive, potential change and change order tracked in one log with dates and owners.

  2. 02

    Notice built into the log

    Notice and response periods from the contract are loaded, so deadlines are flagged before they pass.

  3. 03

    Cost and time together

    Each change priced and tested with a fragnet in the schedule, so the time ask is known when the money is negotiated.

  4. 04

    Ready for the negotiation

    An independent estimate and schedule evidence prepared for each significant change before the meeting.

  5. 05

    Drive it to closure

    Aging reports push open items to decision, and settled changes enter the budget and the schedule in the same period.

What you walk away with.

Scoped to your project. Native files and plain-English outputs that stay yours when we leave.

Timing

When to call us.

The earlier we see the schedule, the more options you keep.

01

The log is out of control

Open items keep rising, and nobody can state the total exposure.

02

A large change is on the table

You need an independent number and a time answer before you sit down.

03

Deadlines are slipping by

Notices are going out late, or not at all.

04

Closeout is near

Unresolved changes must be settled before final payment and retention release.

Straight answers to fair questions.

Do you represent owners or contractors?

Either. On a given project we represent one side. The method stays the same: price it, schedule it, close it.

Should time be settled with each change order?

Where the contract allows it, yes. Settling cost and leaving time open is how many delay disputes begin.

Can you take over a messy change log?

Yes. We reconcile what exists, rebuild one register and set the process going forward.

What is a fragnet?

A small set of activities that represents the change, tied into the schedule to measure its effect on time.
