Client's changed their mind mid-job? Issue a change order in two minutes, before you start the work.
For subcontractors and small firms on live jobs where the client is asking for extras or changes and you need written confirmation before you do it.
Sound familiar?
- “The client keeps adding work and you're doing it on a handshake with no paper trail.”
- “You did the extra work, sent the invoice, and now they're disputing they ever agreed to it.”
- “You want a simple change order so extras get priced and signed off before you do them.”

What the law actually says
- •A change order is an amendment to your contract. Most construction contracts require extra work to be authorized in writing before it's done.
- •Doing the extra work without a signed change order is the classic reason contractors don't get paid for it, so price it and get the signature first.
