This dissertation presents a study made on causes, effects and controls of change orders in large building construction in Morena city. To achieve the study objective, the researcher carried a literature review of the subject covering periodicals, dissertations, previous research studies and books written on the subject of change orders. In light of the literature study the researcher developed a survey questionnaire. Response from 50 consultants and contractors working in the field of large building construction were analyzed. Time and Cost overrun was reported of the original contract duration. The study also concluded that the owner is the major source of changes and that most changes are architectural. Change of plans and material substitution are first causes of change in large buildings. The study also concluded that responses from contractors and consultants agree about the causes, effects and controls of change orders and recommended to include the owner in future studies to verify the reasons behind changes made by the owners
