Change order

A change order is a documented, priced and accepted change to the scope of work agreed in the original estimate or contract.

A change order is a documented, priced and accepted change to the scope of work agreed in the original estimate or contract.

A change order should state what changed, what it costs, and how it affects the schedule. It is accepted before the work is performed.

Handled as a new estimate version, it stays tied to the same job and leaves an unambiguous record of which scope the customer approved.
