Construction Change Orders Definition

A change order is a written order signed by a contracting officer, directing the contractor to make a change that the changes clause authorizes the contracting officer to order without the contractor's consent. A change order is a charge for work not included in a contract's scope of work. Change order procedures and requirements are governed by contract terms and contract law, as well as various laws, which vary by jurisdiction, for publicly funded projects.
