What is a Change Order Form?

A Change Order Form is a legal document used in the construction industry to formally request and approve alterations to the initial scope of a project. In other words, it is a tool to modify a contract, particularly for "change order construction" projects. This document is crucial for ensuring all parties agree on changes to the original contract, thereby minimizing misunderstandings and disputes.

Key Features

✓Describes in detail the changes to be implemented
✓Specifies the impact on the project's budget and timeline
✓Requires approval from all involved parties
✓Provides legal protection in case of disputes

Pros

✓Provides a formal record of changes
✓Establishes transparency between parties
✓Safeguards against potential disputes

Cons

✗May lead to project delays if not managed efficiently
✗Could result in increased project costs

Common Uses

The principal users of a Change Order Form are project owners, contractors, and subcontractors. Architects, engineers, and other professionals involved in the project may also engage with this document, ensuring the proposed changes are feasible and in the project's best interest.

✓Residential building projects
✓Commercial construction projects
✓Renovation or remodeling projects
✓Road and infrastructure projects

A typical Change Order Form includes the change order number, project name, contractor's name, description of the change, the increased or decreased cost, and any adjustments to the project timeline. It also requires signatures from all parties to signify agreement.

No, a contractor should not proceed with changes without a signed Change Order Form. Doing so could lead to disputes, legal issues, and potential financial losses.
