This article explains what a change order is, when it is used in construction projects, and how change orders makes it easy to create, document, and communicate project changes effectively.

What is a Change order?

Change orders are typically used in the following situations:

Changes in project scope

When there is a need to modify the originally agreed-upon work during a construction project, such as adding new tasks.

Unforeseen events

If unexpected problems or obstacles arise, such as hidden damages discovered during the project, which require extra work or changes to the plan.

Price adjustments

If the changes in the project affect the overall costs, this will also be noted in a change order. This ensures that all parties agree on the new offer.

Communication between parties

A change order also serves as a communication tool between the various parties involved in a construction project. It creates clarity and ensures that everyone is up to date on changes and adjustments to the project.
