1. Change Request Submission
Any changes to the agreed scope of works must be requested in writing by the client.
Requests can be submitted via email or by filling out a Change Request Form provided by SJ Kitchens.
Verbal change requests will not be actioned until documented in writing.
2. Evaluation of Change Request
Upon receiving the request, SJ Kitchens will review the proposed change to assess:
Impact on project scope.
Additional costs, if any.
Effect on the project timeline.
If the change involves materials, we will confirm availability and lead times with suppliers.
3. Change Proposal
A formal Change Proposal will be sent to the client, detailing:
The nature of the change.
Any revised costs (increase or decrease).
Any adjustments to the timeline.
Any impact on warranties or guarantees.
The client will have up to 5 business days to review and approve or decline the Change Proposal.
4. Client Approval
Changes will only proceed after the client provides written approval of the Change Proposal.
Approval is confirmed once the client signs the Change Proposal or provides written confirmation via email.
5. Payment for Changes
Additional costs associated with the change must be paid as follows:
Changes under £500: Payment required upfront before work begins.
Changes over £500: 50% payment upfront, with the balance added to the final invoice.
No changes will be implemented until the agreed payment has been received.
6. Implementation of Changes
Approved changes will be integrated into the project schedule.
SJ Kitchens will provide an updated project timeline and, if necessary, adjust site activities to accommodate the changes.
7. Documentation
All approved changes will be documented as a formal Variation Order.
The Variation Order will be attached to the original contract and form part of the agreed terms.
8. Communication
The client will be updated on progress and any further implications caused by the changes throughout the project.
