How to fill it in
FAQ
Fill in the PDF on site and have both of you sign before the crew starts. If you can’t price it yet, write down how it will be priced, for example time and materials at the rates in your contract.
Yes. Enter a deduction as a negative amount in “This change order,” so the new contract sum goes down.
Stop that part of the work, show the client, and write a change order with “Hidden or unforeseen condition” checked before you go on. The contract template has a clause for this.
The form has checkboxes: due on signing, added to the next progress payment, or credited on the next invoice. Pick what your contract says.
A change order request asks for a change and its price; a change order is the signed agreement that makes it part of the contract. Either side can start with a request, but no changed work should begin until both of you sign. You can use this form as a change order request form, then sign it once the price and schedule are agreed. In ECHOPS, clients sign change orders online.
On a job with more than a couple of changes, yes. A change order log lists every change order with its number, date, description, amount and status, so anyone can check the contract sum. The construction budget template includes one you can use. In ECHOPS, every signed change order stays with the job and bills itself as its own invoice (a credit as a negative one).
Describe the change exactly, give the reason, show the price and the new contract sum, note any days added, and get it signed before the work starts. Our guide on how to write a change order covers the ten things every change order needs and what your contract should say about changes.
