## 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.
