Practical tool guide

Agree on extra work before it becomes a dispute

A change order records a specific change to an existing job. Reference the original agreement, describe what is added or removed, and show both the price change and any effect on completion. Keep a copy with the job records after the parties review it.

Step by step

  1. Enter the original contract amount and reference number, or use Load Saved Proposal from this browser.
  2. List added work and credits separately. Describe quantities and units so the customer can compare the change with the original scope.
  3. Explain the reason, exclusions, payment terms and schedule impact. Confirm the revised total and obtain any required approval before proceeding.

Worked example

For a $10,000 original contract, $600 of added work and a $150 credit produce a $450 net increase and a $10,450 revised total when change-order tax is zero. If the work adds two days, record those days and the revised completion date; the price alone does not communicate that delay.

Check credits and tax separately

This tool calculates tax on a positive net change, then adds that change to the original contract. It does not automatically calculate a tax refund on a net credit. The revised total is floored at zero. Compare the result with the original agreement and the tax treatment of the actual items before issuing it.

Does saving a change order mean the customer approved it?

No. Save keeps a browser draft. A typed description or a printed signature line does not establish customer approval by itself. Use the approval process required for your job and retain the approved document.
