The Variation & Claims Nightmare

  • 1Variation orders are tracked in spreadsheets with no link to the original BOQ — making final account reconciliation a months-long ordeal
  • 2Claims lack proper substantiation because site records, correspondence, and cost data are scattered across different systems
  • 3Disputed variations escalate because there is no clear audit trail of instructions, approvals, and cost agreements
The Solution

Arkan Variation Orders & Claims Management Capabilities

FIDIC-Based Variation Workflows

Initiate VOs with structured forms that capture scope description, BOQ impact, time impact, and contractual basis. Route through configurable approval chains aligned to FIDIC clause 13.

Automatic Cost Impact Analysis

Link VOs directly to BOQ items. The system calculates cost impact in real-time — showing the effect on contract value, project budget, and cash flow forecasts.

Claims Register & Substantiation

Build claims with linked evidence — site instructions, correspondence, photos, daily reports, and cost breakdowns. Generate claim submissions with proper FIDIC notice timelines.

Complete Audit Trail

Every VO action is timestamped and attributed — who initiated, who approved, what changed, and when. Supports dispute resolution and final account negotiations.

How It Works

Simple 4-Step Process

1

Initiate: Create a VO with scope, BOQ impact, time impact, and contractual basis

2

3

4
