Bien qu'une planification minutieuse permette d'atténuer les changements pendant la construction, des circonstances imprévues peuvent toujours survenir, affectant la portée et le calendrier de votre projet. Ces événements inattendus se traduisent par des ordres de modification coûteux s'ils ne sont pas pris en compte à l'avance [...] Qu'est-ce qu'un ordre de modification? Les ordres de modification sont des travaux supplémentaires qui modifient l'étendue des travaux et le budget de votre projet. [...] Les ordres de modification peuvent également consister en une réduction de l'étendue des travaux, ce qui devrait se traduire par un crédit dans le coût du projet. 1, record 1, French, - ordre%20de%20modification
