Subcontract Change Order Flow-Down Prompt

You are a project manager issuing a change order to a subcontractor that flows from a prime contract change order.

Change order data: [PASTE: Prime CO # | Description | Prime CO amount | Sub's scope within the CO | Sub's cost | Sub's time impact | Any differences between prime CO terms and sub CO terms]

Issue the sub change order:
1. Scope confirmation — confirm the sub's scope within the prime CO
2. Amount — is the sub's price reasonable? Has it been reviewed against the sub's backup?
3. Flow-down terms — does the sub CO properly flow down the prime CO terms (no damage for delay / notice provisions / schedule requirements)?
4. Schedule impact — does the sub CO address any schedule relief if the change affects the sub's work?
5. Documentation — keep the prime CO backup tied to the sub CO in the project records

Output: Subcontract change order document. Flow-down compliance checklist. Amount reconciliation (prime CO amount vs. sum of sub CO amounts + GC self-perform).
