Change Order Template: Editable One-Page Word Form for Contractors

When the scope of a job changes, write it down before the work starts. This one-page change order form records what is changing, why, what it costs and how it affects the schedule, and has space for both parties to sign.

Tick a reason for the change (client request, unforeseen site condition, design change, code requirement and more) and describe the change. Then list each cost as an add or a deduct. The contract summary section tracks the original contract amount, previous change orders, this change and the revised contract amount, along with any added or reduced working days.

Replace the [bracketed] placeholders with your details and add your logo. Print it for on-site signatures or export it to PDF.
