Customer Reviews
A construction project is one where mid-way modifications in the scope or design of the building or infrastructure are all too frequent and common. The client is attached to the project for sentimental reasons if it is a home; hence, they suggest changes when they find that they are getting a better design, get additional funds, or conversely run into an unexpected shortage of money.
However, businesses executing the project must be professional in approaching such change order requests or risk being inundated with such proposals. Not only does a change order mean additional expense, but it might also mean a change in the original structure or architecture of the project per se.
Of course, if the client has the budget and the time (deadlines are almost always breached in change order requests), construction businesses do accept these. Usually, however, it has to be a sensible striking balance between what can be changed according to the new order and what the client will have to live with now that they had taken their call some time back.

FAQs on Change Order Management
What is the purpose of a change order?
A change order is meant to introduce greater efficiencies to implementing changes to a project already under construction. It details significant inputs needed to implement the strategy like the cost and the time increase it will entail. It also describes the process to be followed to do it well and with minimum loss of resources. Overall, a change order serves as a vital management tool to ensure the client and the business can work together to modify an existing project. It works on scientific and legal principles, as change orders cannot be too whimsical or fancy. These are legitimate changes ordered to improve a project or add more features or benefits.
What are the types of change orders?
There are many kinds of change orders, classified primarily on whether they are adding something to the product or deducting from it. Construction is usually additive, hence a change order of adding is generally easier to execute. Bear in mind, though, that this could also involve destroying already-built portions of the project. In change orders that seek the destruction of something, one needs to avoid wastage and be frugal. An example of this is a late decision by a client to go for a fire-rated door, over an ordinary one. With the gate being installed, this kind of change order involves a lot of repetition of work.
