Frequently asked
When should a change order be used?
Any time the work, the contract sum, or the schedule changes from the signed agreement, before the changed work proceeds, whenever possible.
Can I edit it for my project?
Yes. It arrives as an editable Microsoft Word file, so you can adapt names, scope, fees, and project-specific terms while keeping the attorney-drafted structure intact.
