A requested upgrade changes more than the finish

For every variation, record the exact drawing, specification, quantity, brand or performance requirement, price, tax treatment, payment date and responsible contractor. Require written confirmation of programme impact, permit or design approvals, interfaces with common systems and what happens if the item becomes unavailable.

Before final payment, reconcile approved change orders with the installed work, test results, invoices, warranties and as-built documents. Keep verbal showroom promises out of the decision file. Read the specification guide, as-built checklist and developers.

Next step

Phuket Stay Pro can organise the variation register for independent review.

Fact check

Approval routes, taxes, programme effects, cancellation rights, warranties and remedies depend on the contract, project and current Thai law. Verify signed documents independently.
