FAQ
Why do I need a lawyer to draft a change order?
A change order is a legally binding amendment to your contract. Using an attorney ensures the language is precise, protects your rights, and minimizes the risk of future disputes over scope, cost, or time.
What information do you require?
I need the original scope of work, a clear description of the change, any cost and time impact calculations, and the relevant clauses from your main contract.
Can you help me price the change order?
While I do not provide cost estimating services, I will structure the document to clearly present and justify the pricing you have determined, tying it to labor, material, and equipment rates.
My client sent me their change order form. Can you review it?
Absolutely. The Standard Package is perfect for reviewing incoming forms. I will identify any problematic language and suggest revisions to protect your interests before you sign.
What is the difference between a change order and a variation?
They are largely the same concept. "Change Order" is common terminology in the US, while "Variation" is often used in contracts based on FIDIC or JCT forms. I am proficient in both.
