The financial impact of modifications during the construction phase of a project on consultant offices will be explored in this study. In any construction project, a large number of modifications occur. The consequences of those modifications may result in additional costs due to the re-design of the project. Data from four different consultant offices were selected. A regression model that can be used to forecast the cost of extra work for modifications based on the initial design cost was derived in this study. The outcome of this study will simplify the forecasting of cost of any modification in construction projects.
