Change Orders
If a material is unavailable or you run into a problem that requires a change in plans, it must be put in writing in the form of a change order after you and your general contractor agree on the solution and terms. The change order must include specific instructions, drawings, material specs and agreements on any extra cost and time involved and be signed and dated by all involved parties. This ensures that everyone is clear on what is being changed, why, when and who is paying what.
