Change event decision sheet

State on Sep 28, 2026 2 events waiting on Brackenhurst Work stopped on the duct conflict Client-visible

Each change event logged on the Ridgeview Medical Office Building mechanical package, with its estimate, the hours already worked and the decision Brackenhurst Builders has to make, so the concealed duct conflict is authorized or declined before more hours are spent. Prepared by Dominic Ostrowski, Ironvale Mechanical project manager, for the Brackenhurst project manager and Anjali Venkataraman.

Nine change events have been logged since mobilization. Five are authorized, 2 are declined and 2 wait on a Brackenhurst decision. The working rule is plain: no extra work before written authorization.

Sample template: the firm, people, clients and figures are fictional, and the embedded view holds synthetic sample records.

The nine change events

The table lists every event with its decision, its estimate and the hours crews worked before the decision. Eight events show 0 hours. One shows 14.

The work orders behind each event

The view below holds 13 work orders for the Ridgeview Medical Office Building, all for Brackenhurst Builders: WO-3101 to WO-3109 are the nine change events, and WO-3110 to WO-3113 are four inspection items. Read Status and Customer approval together.

Five records show Needs follow-up, and five show Customer approval as Pending: the concealed duct conflict, the thermostat wiring relocation and three inspection items.

Five authorized, two declined

Authorized events are priced, approved inside Ironvale and approved in writing by Brackenhurst. Their work orders show where the work stands.

The five authorized events total $38,600. The two declined events were priced at $2,200 and $1,500, and no crew time went into either. The rooftop unit curb adapters are a separate matter from the rooftop unit curb supply question: the adapters are authorized, and the supply question sits in the scope review with Anjali Venkataraman.

From logged to authorized

Of 9 events logged, 2 were declined and 2 are still waiting, which leaves 5 authorized. The waiting two are the only events that can still change the authorized total.
