The 60-second change order

No signature.
No extra work.

Build the extra on site, price it properly with markup & tax, show the new contract total, and get it signed — before anyone picks up a tool.

01

Change order

Number it, date it, and tie it to the original job.

Auto-numbered — edit if your system differs.
02

Who’s involved

Contractor on one side, client on the other — exactly like the standard forms.

03

What’s changing

Describe the extra plainly enough that there’s nothing to argue about later.

04

Price the extra

Labour, materials, equipment & subs — line by line, with markup and tax.

15% is New Brunswick HST. Change it for your province.
05

Schedule & payment

Extras move dates and money. Say by how much, in writing.

Calculated from days added.
06

Approval & signatures

Work does not start until the client signs. Sign with a finger or mouse.

Client approval: “I approve the work described above for the change-order total shown, on the payment terms selected. I understand this amount is added to my contract total and the completion date may move as shown.”

Plain-language business form — not legal advice. ScopeSealed forms are operational templates to document, price, and get extra work approved before it starts. They don’t replace a contract reviewed for your business and province. Adapt the wording to how you actually work.

Form structure follows the fields used on established contractor change-order forms — CO number, parties & job, description & reason, itemized pricing with markup & tax, contract-total roll-up, schedule impact, payment terms, and dual signatures.
