Abstract: Change orders are a common occurrence in construction projects and should be anticipated by all parties involved. Typically, the costs associated with individual change orders can be easily defined and quantified. When there is an excessive number of change orders, however, it can have an impact on the "unchanged" work. This paper will seek to help all project stakeholders understand how the number of change orders issued on a project can affect the unchanged work. Specifically, this paper will define a cumulative impact, identify the key components of a cumulative impact claim, and explore various methodologies used to quantify such claims.
