What Are 40 Free Variation Hours Really Worth?
When construction starts, one thing is certain: changes happen. Whether it’s a client rethinking a wall or a lighting plan tweak on site, variations are inevitable. What’s not inevitable is variation chaos — and that’s where 2VP’s Fix & Clear system and 40 Free Variation Hours come in.
This isn’t a throwaway bonus. It’s a strategic buffer that protects everyone involved: the homeowner, the architect, and the integrity of the design.
🎯 For Architects: Control Without the Chokehold
Architects know the real cost of “one small change” — it’s usually 12 emails, 3 calls, and a dent in their client relationship.
With 2VP, approved variation hours can be actioned on-site, immediately. That means:
No need to redo drawing packs for every socket move.
Architects stay in control of the project direction — not the admin.
Less client tension (“Why is this taking so long?”).
Zero risk to your reputation.
And with every variation tracked live in the dashboard and co-signed by the site manager (M1), senior PM (M2), and client, transparency is locked in.
🏠 For Homeowners: Flexibility Without Fear
Most clients don’t want to micromanage the builder — they just want the freedom to adjust small things when inspiration strikes.
With 2VP’s Fix & Clear:
You get 40 hours of site-approved flexibility included.
These changes are tracked and visualised on your live dashboard.
You know what’s being changed, who approved it, and how long it took.
No more surprise add-ons or “we’ll invoice later” dramas.
Our team handles minor adjustments without delay or disruption. You don’t lose momentum — you gain peace of mind.
🔍 Technical Behind-the-Scenes: How It Works
Every variation request is logged live — clients see it instantly.
Changes are signed by the M1 (site manager), M2 (senior PM), and the client — no confusion.
Architects retain full design authority, but are only looped in when necessary.
Weekly QS reports break down hours used, updates made, and progress.
40 hours are preloaded at no charge — tracked down to the minute.
This is clarity at construction scale.
📈 What Happens When You Go Over 40 Hours?
Simple: you're notified in advance via your live project dashboard. Your weekly report highlights exactly how many hours are used, what for, and what’s left.
No surprise charges. No chasing. Just clarity.
💬 Real-World Scenario
An architect client in Fulham told us:
“That 40-hour buffer saved my project. The homeowner made 3 layout tweaks. Normally, I’d be redoing the tender. With 2VP, I didn’t need to get involved — and the client thought I was a genius.”
✅ The Bigger Promise: Variation-Free Doesn’t Mean Rigid
You can change your mind — and still stay on schedule.
You can adjust lighting — and still trust the quote.
You can add a kitchen feature — and still feel calm.
And as an architect, you can recommend 2VP knowing we’ve designed a system that actually respects your time, your vision, and your reputation.
