Clarify what is changing.
Distinguish the original commitment from the requested revision and identify what needs to be reviewed.
Make the impact of design changes visible before they become unplanned commitments. Structure the review of scope, fees, schedule and approvals around one clear decision.
A client request can affect agreed scope, consultant coordination, delivery dates and the fee. When those consequences are not considered together, it becomes harder to make a clear decision about what happens next.
Distinguish the original commitment from the requested revision and identify what needs to be reviewed.
Consider potential additional effort, fee adjustments, coordination needs and schedule effects before agreeing to proceed.
Organise the decision, outstanding questions and approval status so the change is not treated as an informal assumption.
Scope Impact is centred on a change-review workflow: capture the request, evaluate the potential consequences, and establish what needs to be clarified before work proceeds.
Record the requested change, its context and the relevant project reference so the review starts from a clear description.
Request documentationStructure the review of what was originally included, what is now being requested and which boundaries may need clarification.
Scope clarificationReview potential implications for additional effort, fees, programme, consultant coordination and other affected deliverables.
Fee and schedule impactBring the assessment, open questions, proposed next step and approval status into a more structured change-review record.
Decision traceabilityA repeatable review sequence helps the team ask the right questions before accepting a revision or committing to additional work.
Describe the request, where it came from and what part of the project it affects.
Review the request against agreed scope, current deliverables and previous decisions.
Consider possible effects on fee, effort, timing, coordination and project obligations.
Clarify the proposed response and the approval required before additional work proceeds.
Design evolves. Good project control does not mean resisting change. It means understanding its consequences, communicating them clearly, and making decisions with the right context.
A focused change-review tool for architects who need to assess requests more deliberately, clarify the commercial and delivery implications, and establish the next decision before work moves ahead.
Change review and impact assessment for architectural projects.
A few details about the purpose of Scope Impact.
It is designed for architects and architecture practices that need a structured process for reviewing client requests and design changes that may affect agreed scope, fees, timing or coordination.
No. The purpose is to help you assess each request in context. Whether a change falls within the original agreement depends on the contract, project circumstances and professional judgement.
No automatic contractual or client approval should be assumed. The tool supports the review and documentation process; formal variations and approvals should follow your agreement and established practice procedures.
No. The intended offer is a one-time purchase. Check the product listing for the exact deliverables, access format and current terms before purchasing.
It is positioned as a focused change-review workflow, not a replacement for your BIM authoring, document management, accounting or project management systems.
