When during a major design project is the best time to provide your changes to...

The best time to make changes (Option B) is during the Schematic or Design Development phase, when the design is still flexible.

Why Option B is Correct?

Changes during this phase are less costly and disruptive.

It ensures that input is incorporated before detailed construction drawings are finalized.

IFMA’s Project Management Core Competency highlights that early-stage design input minimizes costly revisions during construction.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect?

Option A (Construction Documents phase): Changes at this stage require major redesign work and increase costs.

Option C (Early Construction phase): Changing the design after construction starts leads to significant delays and budget overruns.
