Change Orders: From Site Instruction to Controlled Decision

A reliable workflow connects scope, authority, time, cost and approval.

Working checklist

• Capture the instruction and contractual basis
• Estimate time and cost effects
• Track approval and implementation status

Why the sequence matters

Technical and contractual decisions become harder to defend when the underlying observations, assumptions and approvals are mixed together. A disciplined workflow keeps each layer visible and gives the project team a shared basis for action.
