- Scope creep originates from four sources: discovery, investor decisions, contractor suggestions, and code requirements.
- Formal change order documentation with cost and schedule impact must precede any changed work.
- Change orders exceeding 10% of contract value should trigger a comprehensive project feasibility review.
- Retainage holdback (5-10%), material price locks, and separately managed contingency reserves protect the budget.
