Change Order Management Prompt
Prompt
Establish a disciplined change order process. [PASTE: Original contract, potential changes, change budget] 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 it works
Formal process prevents "extras" from inflating budget. Clear scope reduces disputes.
Watch out for
Verbal change orders are unenforceable. Require documentation. Cumulative small changes exceed budget.
