Executive summary
In the following report, there are various changes required for the current case of Lye Construction
project. Due to this, there are impacts on the scope, time, cost and quality of the project with various
techniques used to manage that are to be evaluated. Further, the multiple states for submitting the
request to deal with the changes required for the analysis of the case study are demonstrated. Next,
the scopes to satisfy every demand of changes are investigated along with various risks to the ranges.
Ultimately, in this study the change request form is designed retrieving examples form other
workplaces.

Introduction:
At various situations, the project management problems or situations are complicated and
include different interacting elements. All of these contribute to a common outcome. Here, for
instance, poor planning on any project might come out at the surface to be an issue of planning. On
the other hand, the actual issue can be the lack of proper management support, corporate culture and
poor morale of the employees. The following report presents the case studies of Lyle Construction
Project. The project involves suggesting members of functional departments working on their
methods of projects. This results in fast turnaround of the tasks needed to them. Again, the project
team has coerced different sectors of engineering to make activities outside the common procedures.
This is because of special situations across the task. The civil engineering sector, for instance has
developed particular basic structural package of steel. Besides, the piping engineering sector
designed basic piping package such that the department of purchasing can perform the inquiry very
fast. Commonly, the department of purchase needed to wait for the formal kind of take-offs from
those departments prior they case send the inquiries out to the effective vendors. The followings
study evaluates the changes needed for the present case of Lyle Construction Project. For this, their
effects on quality, cost, time and scope of the project along with the techniques utilized for managing
them are investigated. Next, the measures included submitting the request in dealing with these
changes needed for the case study analysis is demonstrated. Then the options for satisfying all the
change requests are discussed and identified along with the risks related to those options. Lastly, the
change request form is completed taking from the instance of another workplace.
1. Identifying the changes needed for case study:
For the case of Lyle Construction Project, it was ensured that there has any available space
nearer to the Atlay project group apart from the one that has been occupying. This project team of

Atlay project has been operating under the structure of matrix organization that is plunged suitable to
the present project. Further, they were aware of the delay that has been incurred on the job onset.
The instruction for them has been cutting corners as they were performing can result to save time.
Here, they were proposing the members of the functional departments working for Lyle Construction
Project’s methods resulting in fast turnaround of the activities needed to them (Heldman 2018). The
team coerced different engineering sectors to operate external to the current processes because of
particular situations across the task. Operating in the way how Lyle Construction Project has been
performing results in few issues. Nevertheless, the department of purchasing should arrange the
discounts from vendors on the basis of the quantity of structural steel that is estimated while the
basic take-off was done. As the formal take-off is performed from the side of the section of civil-
engineering they can seek the ways to know the amount of structural steel needed on Lyle
Construction Project by 50 tons. It has been harmful since understanding that there has been extra 50
tons of the structural steel has added the department of purchasing to secure the extra discount of
0.20 dollars every pound. With the effort to undertake the time lost, the project team convinced that
the departments of engineering departments for using the quotation data or catalogue drawings as the
lack the engineering data over specific part of the equipment (Wysocki, 2011). One can further
delay that project (Paredes & Ribeiro, 2018). Nevertheless, as that never changes in substantial way,
Lyle Construction can save possibly one month in the time of engineering. Here, the Lyle has
advised as per the potential benefits and risks to the benefits included as Atlay has been operating
external to common operating process. Here, the measure that project team has been using has been
appeared to be active. Moreover, it has seemed that as the task is done at fast rate than that is
anticipated initially (Snyder & Stackpole, 2013). Here the snag present in the task happened as
reviewing and approval was done from Lyle’s side. The purchase orders, engineering acquisitions
and drawings have been sitting under the Lyle area for about a couple weeks prior the personnel of
Lyle has been reviewing that. Again, at many times the documents have been returned a couple

weeks after the request for extra data and changes are noted by few of the engineers of Lyle.
Moreover, there is the necessity of change to sit for other weeks in that sectors prior reviews and
returned eventually for the final approval for Atlay (Gablas, Ruzicky & Ondrouchova, 2018). This
must be referred to the procedures of contracts that is stated that Lyle with five days to approve and
review of different documents submitted to that. It is felt to be constituted of the delay to perform the
fact that every team members of Lyle returned back to the homes for their weekends (Frijns, Van
Leeuwen & Bierwolf, 2017).
Various features of change order at Lyle Construction Project are as follows. This must have
the cost to that. The change order must have the expenses related to that. This is even it never cost
the contractor for any sort of modification. Next, it must be paid up-front. As one never get that
done, then they are following the standards. Through getting the change order costs the up-fronts.
While the client needs few changes, the contractor can accept the change and never ask and work for
additional payments. Next, as the client make changes in the mind constantly and ultimately the
client come to the situation as they never need further modifications and the time huge quantity of
changes is done there, the change orders have few hefty amounts (Donovan, 2018). As happens
many times, the contractor can make more money than the principal contract value with that. One
might undergo the change order as any kind of change to the date of completion is done. As changes
in the product are done, the product selected and priced, one is going to undertake the change order
including the specification or price in the contract affecting the contract value. Besides, there is the
notification to the change. Once signed, the change order turns to be the part of Lyle Construction
Project. This is vital that the changes made should be informed to owners in the way of written
order. Hence it gets covered with the agreement of contract. Few items for Lyle Construction Project
that are to be changed might never be the part of specification or plan or the construction contract
(O'Donovan, 2017). Hence, the working scope that is mentioned in contract is the first part of the
orders. An overall change in price of the contract of construction. Here, another primary part of the
