A change order is the written amendment to the contract: a change in scope, in price, or both. You price it, the homeowner decides, and the new contract price is what the job is measured against.
Each change order shows the contract you started with, every change already approved, what this one does, and the price if it is approved. A negative change is a credit, and the contract price goes down.
Choose who has to sign before the change is approved: builder and client, the client only, the builder only, or no signature. The homeowner signs in the portal, or approves in one step when a signature is not required.
On a fixed-price job, accepting the change moves it to pending invoice, and Create Invoice bills what was just agreed. On a cost-plus job the change revises the estimate. The costs reach the client on the next cost-plus invoice, as the bills behind them are approved.
An approval deadline is optional. It drives reminders. The client can still approve after the date. A file marked Require client acknowledgment has to be opened and acknowledged before that person can sign. An approval that happened outside BldrTeam is recorded as such, with who approved, who recorded it, the explanation, and the proof.
