How To Write A Change Order

Change orders aren’t something that need to be feared if they are managed successfully.

• Starting work without a formal change order should be the exception, not the rule. This means you need to get the ball rolling right away when change requests arise.

• Get a Formal Change Order Signed. When at all possible, you want a written agreement that's signed by both parties before any work begins. Protect Yourself with Words and Actions.

• Having a change order process in place will allow you to efficiently identify the need for change orders and manage them as they arise on a project.
