  - A change order is a formal, written document that authorizes a modification to the original construction contract, affecting scope, cost, schedule, or any combination of these. Change orders must be agreed upon by both the owner and contractor and become a binding part of the contract. Proper change order management is critical in construction because uncontrolled changes lead to disputes, cost overruns, and schedule delays.
