Variation Management
Variation Management helps you recover costs from design changes by automating claims using 3D quantities and solid data, so you don’t leave money on the table.
The Variation Management tool helps you identify, quantify, and claim for changes that impact your project — especially those that blow out cost due to design changes, scope creep, or supply fluctuations.
What You Can Do
-
Automate variation claims using quantities directly from 3D models or project data.
-
Track and manage variation requests with clear audit trails.
-
Back your claims with data for faster client approval and stronger justification.
-
Ensure no money is left on the table when project conditions shift.
Example Workflow
During one major project, the priced tonnage of steel doubled between design and construction. Using Deep Space’s Variation Management tools, the team extracted updated quantities from the 3D model, submitted a clear variation request — and successfully recovered $15 million from the client.
When design changes happen, you can respond with facts, not guesswork.
