A change order is a document used to record an amendment to your original contract. Change orders include any additional work completed that is not part of the contract. Contractors typically break down change orders into two components: the scope of work and the price. 

The scope of work is necessary to define the exact amount of labor, materials, and time adjustments needed for the additional updates to the project. The basis of payment in a contract defines commodity, duration of the agreement, and specific requirements. Therefore, when subcontractors perform additional work, compensation should adjust, as does the basis of payment. Subcontractors should list pricing adjustments in an itemized list to show the work done at each price.

Implementing a change order process doesn’t have to be difficult and starts by establishing a relationship a relationship with your general contractor. Maintaining a good relationship can help manage expectations and set clear guidelines for a change order process. Letting your GC know ahead of time that your company uses change orders helps sets their expectations for future changes.  When it’s time for both parties to sit down and sign the change order, everyone will feel like they were part of the process, and things will go over more smoothly.

A construction change order is not synonymous with site instructions. The difference between a site instruction vs. change order is found in the way they are communicated. Where change orders are written documents of the change signed by the general contractor and the subcontractor, a site instruction is purely given by the GC. GCs can give site instructions verbally, allowing the message to get lost in translation. A formal amendment to a contract such as a change order provides a legal document that both parties refer to if needed.

Verbal instructions are dangerous to both subs and GCs. While site instructions provide essential information regarding a new scope of work, subcontractors must document instructions BEFORE anyone starts working on changes to the original contract. Documented site instructions should include the same vital information that change orders use, additional work needed, the price at which the subcontractor is willing to complete the work, and time adjustments to the projected timeline.
