Variation order means change in scope of work you can claim with cost and time with or without approved programm
Thats true trevor, but there must be some condition in the contract or time-line specified in the contract to approve/comment on the program.
To do a variation work, contractor must have received PMI/EI to proceed. The variation cost and time can be settled later on as well, as and when u receive approval of Clause 14 program.
Anyway, do u really think consultant need a incentive.

It is in the contractors interest to submit the program on time and make it as good as possible so that it will get approved and can be used for EOTs, Variations etc.
But it is the clients interests for the consultant to withold approval forever, no matter how good the program is so that there can never be any consideration of EOTs, Variations etc.
Where is the incentive for the consultant to approve?
Theres nothing in it for the client.
Activities that had been done it consider as build time schedule , and according RFI and some documents like submittals of material,shopdrwaings approval we can decide the responsible for delay .
But Variation should be apprved other wise the owner should change the consultant or find Project management consultant for the project
Please give additional information.
Let say the contractor submitted the clause 14 program, then the consultant commented, then the contractor again submitted taking into consideration the consultant comment, and so on and so on and so forth.
Did the consultant whimsically defer the approval of the clause 14 program????
Is the contractor working on the submitted clause 14 program, while the said clause 14 program is under review????
Give us the true and honest picture in this way, you will get the best advice.
