Construction Change Order

A Construction Change Order is a formal document used in building projects to make changes to the original construction contract. This can involve adding new work, altering existing plans, or adjusting timelines and costs. When unexpected issues arise, such as discovering problems with the site or needing to accommodate new design features, a change order outlines the specific changes, reasons, and any adjustments to the project's budget and schedule. It ensures that both the contractor and client agree on these modifications, helping to maintain clarity and prevent disputes during the construction process.
