Change order form

Fill it in here, then print it or save it as a PDF for both of you to sign. The new contract total adds itself up as you type. It works for remodels, additions and any job with a written contract.

Nothing you type leaves this page. It stays in this browser so you can come back to it, until you clear it.

Change orderNo.
New contract total$0.00

The work in this change starts after both sides sign. Everything else in the contract stays the same.

How to fill it in

  1. Number every change. Change 1, 2, 3. When you talk about the job later, “change 4” is one thing, not a memory.
  2. Describe it so a stranger could price it. Quantity, material, where. “Fix floor” starts an argument; “replace 40 sq ft of subfloor in the main bath” doesn’t.
  3. Write the price even when it’s zero. A no-cost change is still a change to what you’re building.
  4. Write the days. Most fights about the finish date are about changes that added time nobody wrote down.
  5. Show the new total. “$640 more” is easy to forget. “The job is now $38,240” is what the client checks against your final bill.
  6. Get both signatures before the work. Signed afterwards, it’s a bill the client never agreed to.
