Frequently asked questions
What is a change order in construction?
A written change to the original contract that adds, removes or replaces work, with its effect on the price and the completion date, signed by the client before the work starts.
Does a change order need a signature?
It should. A signed change order is your record that the client approved the extra cost and time, which helps avoid payment disputes.
Can I number each change order?
Yes. The form has a change order number field, so every signed PDF lines up with your project records.
