In the projects everyone has experienced, where the client ends up asking for many additional things, what is the general approach taken?
Thread Content
During the three inspections and four determinations for a project, or perhaps a little earlier, various suggestions are made such as adding valves, filters, boundary valves at TP points, additional valves at the inlet and outlet of safety valves, constructing more platforms, incorporating more automated control elements, and adding emergency stop buttons. Among the additional costs involved, some are low while others are high; so how do people typically weigh these factors when making decisions? Should it be a complete refusal, a selective refusal, or should everything be added anew for long-term considerations? Let’s share the strategies each of us is using. Thank you!
This new addition also needs to be reviewed, right?
An unconditional increase that affects safety; there is no such thing as minor or major safety； Things that are merely a bonus are generally not taken into consideration. The other one is in accordance with the contract terms
Follow the logical sequence and order of priority, and handle things in accordance with the contract
The contract is of course the top priority; next, we consider the progress of the project. Even with these additional factors, if there is still a profit and the cooperation is good, it’s fine to offer it for free as well； If the project isn’t performing well and results in losses, I guess you wouldn’t want to continue working on it either.
