Construction Change Order

Unwritten changes are the fastest way to lose money on a residential job. A numbered change order that states the added scope, the price delta and the schedule impact keeps the contract intact and gets the extra work paid.

Who uses it

General contractors, remodelers and trade contractors handling scope changes mid-project.

What the generated document includes

  • Sequential change order number tied to the original contract
  • Added or deleted scope in plain language
  • Change in contract price and revised contract total
  • Change in schedule and signature lines for both parties

Mistakes that get it kicked back

  • Performing the work first and papering the change order after the fact
  • Stating a price change without the revised contract total
  • Omitting the schedule impact, which invites liquidated-damages disputes
