Steps: 1) Define change order process 2) Review scope (in vs. out) 3) Request quote from contractor 4) Evaluate cost/necessity 5) Execute written change order 6) Track all changes 7) Avoid scope creep
Output: Change order form template, change order log, approval authority matrix, budget tracking. Why this works
Formal process prevents "extras" from inflating budget. Clear scope reduces disputes.
Risks & review
Verbal change orders are unenforceable. Require documentation. Cumulative small changes exceed budget.
