Changes occur not only because oferrors and omissions, but also for other reasons such as scope of work changes, or changesbecause of unforeseen conditions encountered on the site; a problem which is very common inmost heavy construction projects. Several studies have attempted to quantify the impact ofchange orders on the project cost. Almost all of the studies in this area were
