Variation Event Tracker (VET)
The single source of truth for managing variation events with speed, structure, and certainty.
Novologic VET eliminates the traditional headaches of creating, tracking, and closing variations by bringing clarity and agility into a waterfall construction environment — giving owners, contractors, and reviewers a unified, audit-ready record for every event.
⬡ Novologic's VET
Your Hub for All Variations
VET brings every piece of a variation event into one shared space, keeping owners, contractors, and reviewers aligned from start to finish. Instead of chasing emails or piecing together scattered documents, each variation has its own clear, structured record that stays open to the right stakeholders.
For every variation, VET ensures that:
- •All documents, messages, and evidence are collected in one place
- •Updates and decisions are tracked as they happen
- •Key details are organized and easy to review
- •Reporting is generated from the same consistent source
VET becomes the central thread that ties each variation together — making it easier to see what changed, who was involved, and what needs to happen next.

Unique Traits and Features
⬡ Novologic's VET removes conventional challenges around creating, tracking, managing, and closing Variations.
Variations as Clear, Audit-Ready Communication Records
Variations are critical points in a construction project — they document change, clarify intent, and protect every stakeholder involved. VET turns each variation into a structured, audit-ready record. Creating, submitting, and sharing variations becomes quick and consistent, with every detail captured in one place.
A Faster, Easier Response Cycle for Every Stakeholder
Responding to variations shouldn't slow a project down. With VET, all relevant information stays organized and accessible, so teams can review, draft, revise, and finalize submissions without searching through emails or files. Bringing collaborators into the loop is simple, ensuring timely and informed responses.
Stay Updated on Every Variation — Instantly
VET keeps owners, contractors, and reviewers aligned with real-time updates, dashboards, and reminders. Track status changes, deadlines, comments, and documentation as they happen. No more uncertainty — everyone sees the same information, at the same time.
Confident Next Steps After a Variation Closes
Once a variation is resolved, VET preserves the complete record — decisions, approvals, evidence, and communication. This clarity supports cost control, schedule adjustments, and future claims. Teams move forward without guesswork or missing information.
