FAQs

AAW stands for “alteration and additional work.” It refers to any extra work required that is not included in the original scope of work specified and agreed upon in the contract.

A variation order is a document issued during a construction project that authorises changes to the original contract. These changes can involve alterations to the scope of work, materials, specifications, or timelines.

Structural alterations refer to changes made to the core components of a building, such as beams, columns, walls, and foundations. These alterations typically involve modifications that affect the structural integrity or load-bearing aspects of the building.

Examples include extending a building with a new room, updating electrical and plumbing systems, improving accessibility features, and reconfiguring internal layouts.
