Process
Change Order Ethos.
Changes are normal. Confusion is optional. This is how changes are handled without destabilizing the site.
Change handling
Clean control, not conflict.
A change order protects the project: scope clarity, cost clarity, and schedule clarity.
Qualifies as a change
Outside original scope.
- Added / removed / substituted scope.
- Revisions after sign-off.
- Design/engineering changes.
- Unforeseen conditions requiring new work.
Contains
Defensible detail.
- Description + affected areas.
- Cost breakdown (labour/material/subtrade).
- Schedule impact (days added/removed).
- Assumptions and exclusions.
Workflow
How it runs
- Identify the change and stop ambiguity.
- Document (short written scope + photos as needed).
- Price (fixed or T&M as appropriate).
- Approve in writing before execution.
- Execute and record completion.
- Close with updated records.
