Mechanical contractors have been subject to scope-of-work creep by third party commissioning agents that require activities beyond the bid scope and project design. MCAA’s Controlling Project Costs Caused by Third-Party Commissioning Agents offers tips to help contractors minimize the potential for scope creep and the resulting cost increases and schedule impacts. It’s just one of MCAA’s educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership.

The bulletin includes:

  • Pre-bid ideas to help contractors get the pricing right at the beginning
  • Post-award ideas for limiting the possibility of scope expansion
  • Ideas to minimize the risk of added cost and schedule impact during construction
