Yes, of course you can make changes during construction. If a variation is agreed to by both parties, as per the contract terms and conditions, Albury Projects will arrange costing of the variation and supply the owners with a written quote. This quote will include the cost, plus builder’s markup and a $150 administration fee. This administration fee is charged for quoting the variation and additional administration work required to process the variation.

Please note all variations have to be accepted in writing by the owner before the variation works will take place.
