When to use and what to include
Record a proposed or approved change to the original work, then generate a change-order PDF. State who requested it, what changes, why, the cost and schedule impact, revised totals and dates, and each party's approval status before changed work proceeds.
What to include
- Change order number, reference to the original contract number, date of request, and who initiated the change (client, contractor, or inspector).
- Cost impact broken down by additional labor hours, material costs, equipment, and any subcontractor charges, with a revised contract total.
- Schedule impact stating the number of additional days needed, the new milestone dates affected, and the revised completion date.
- Approval signatures from both the client and contractor with the date, confirming agreement to the revised scope of work, cost, and timeline before changed work begins.

- Can I generate a client-approval PDF from this Change Order?
