What is a Change Order?
Posted: Mon Sep 27, 2010 5:28 pm
Hello
When a construction business first places a bid on a project, it spells out the services and materials to be provided. The original contract also outlines the design for the project and the projected final outcome. If problems arise during the construction process or the client changes his or her mind about what he or she wants to be done, a change order form must be completed. The change order form details the new plan, including services, materials, and designs, that the client and the company have mutually agreed upon. The change order form then becomes the valid contract by which the client and the construction company must legally abide.
The change order form may also be used in other service industries. Writers, artists, and computer programmers, for example, may each use a change order form in order to change the parameters of an agreed upon project.
Thanks
