“…Most projects are not carefully planned; they are often inspired politically to achieve political gains. Projects which do not start with proper designs, specifications, and goals in mind cannot be free from changes and additions (Eldeep et al, 2022;Hansen et al, 2023;Wang et al, 2023b;Koushki et al, 2005). This has been the problem in most building contracts, yet the phenomenon seems to be cyclical.…”

The occurrence of variations in building construction contracts is a subject that needs some attention in public sector projects. They are, almost all the time, detrimental rather than beneficial variations. The paper aimed to identify the nature of variations in government-initiated building projects over fourteen years, from 2000 to 2014, in the Central Region and their impacts. Preliminary counts of documents revealed that a total of 348 projects were executed over the period. The data collection process started by first sorting out files, contract documents, and payment certificates for the period under consideration. These documents were scrutinised one after the other to detect possible variations. The inclusion criterion for selecting a project was if a project had any form of variation(s) recorded. After thoroughly examining these 348 project documents, 84 were found to have variations. The study identified additional works and substitutions as the most inherent variations in public building projects in the Central Region. About 85 % of the variations found in the 84 projects with various forms of variations were additional works and substitutions. It was revealed that the cost of multiple variations was higher than single variations. Projects with multiple variations had high percentage variation and durations than others. Percentage variation in some instances was 400 %. The study identified that multiple variations were more costly than single variations. The highest variation cost identified was (USD 211 864.41 or EUR 183 150.18) for one project. The study identified the nature of variations that usually occurred in government building projects and their association with both cost and time. The study asserts that the presence of multiple change orders has substantial financial significance and should be diligently avoided through efficient project initiation and planning.

PurposeFirms in the architectural, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) sector continue undertaking projects in a disruptive environment due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study aims to explore environmental turbulence in the AECO project delivery space and suggest mechanisms for enhancing resilience against future pandemics.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts the quantitative approach by administering 110 survey questionnaires to participants comprising project managers, site engineers, quantity surveyors, contractors and subcontractors.FindingsThe study identifies 24 COVID-19 disruptions linked to environmental turbulence categorised as scheduling, performance and productivity, project budget, supply chain, resource allocation and technological and regulatory. The study suggested resilient mechanisms for surviving in future pandemics.Originality/valueThis study enhances the understanding of environmental turbulence from the perspective of COVID-19 disruptions in AECO project delivery, while the implementation of the resilient mechanisms improves capability of AECO firms against future pandemics.

This article aims to find out how land registration activities are carried out by the Government for the benefit of the people in order to guarantee legal certainty in the land sector. The problem focuses on the land rights registration system, the recording of which describes a detailed summary regarding the occurrence of property ownership and changes thereto, or other transactions that affect a property right. In order to approach this problem, theoretical references from several sources are used, including (1) legal protection theory; (2) theory of legal certainty. Data is collected through several sources such as interviews, observation results, events or test results of objects or documents in the form of books, journals, notes or other archives that are related and analyzed qualitatively. This study concludes that based on the urgency of the problem, the system for checking and registering land title certificates is carried out using an electronic system. The certificate check is carried out by the PPAT before the deed is made which is the basis for the legal act of transferring/assigning land rights. PPAT has the authority to check, copy, validate and register land title certificates as regulated in UUPA PP No. 24 of 1997 and PP no. 37 of 1998. The output of this system is in the form of printed documents in electronic form. In this case, the electronic document referred to is an electronic certificate or e-certificate.
