In my opinion cost escalation refers to a scenario in which cost enhancements of the specified items in the specified formula are agreed to be given to the contractor with time over the base line agreed therein. The price adjustment on the other hand refers to not only escalation or enhanced rates but variation in the negative side also. As in construction contract, the variation in rates may be on either side, it is appropriate to use the word of price adjustment rather than price escalation.

What is Variation in construction?

A variation in a construction contract is a change from what is currently contracted to be built, supplied or fitted to a different build, supply or fit. Variations are written instructions from the client to a contractor or from a main contractor to a sub contractor. The instruction will set out the details of the change so that all parties are agreed on the new construction details. Typically, a variation is used to clarify a detail that could not be fully defined at the start of the contract - Paints, wall coverings, carpets are examples of such details that are often left to the end of the contract to decide. They can be used when unexpected issues arise during the contract. They are often used simply because the client changes his mind during a contract. The final contract is often modified by hundreds or even thousands of variations that each reflect a change in the way the building contract is to run.

After receiving the cost estimate of $2,400 from the construction company, you should confirm that this amount aligns with the approved budget for the project. If it does, proceed with finalizing the contract and scheduling the start date for the services. If there are discrepancies, you may need to revisit the budget or negotiate with the construction company for a more suitable arrangement. Ensure all documentation is in order before proceeding with the purchase.
