Change Orders
Change orders are formal adjustments made to a contract, typically during construction or project management. They document changes in project scope, budget, timeline, or specifications that arise after the original agreement. For example, if a client wants to modify a design or add new work, a change order outlines the new terms, including costs and deadlines. This process ensures that both parties agree to the modifications and helps prevent disputes, maintaining clear communication and accountability throughout the project.
