Take the agony out of change orders!
Uncover hidden cost items and receive full compensation for them. Each chapter of Contractor’s Guide To Change Orders: How To Resolve Disputes And Get Paid contains step-by-step procedures. Checklists, full-size forms, and word-for-word letters to help you increase your acceptance rate and get paid for all changed on the job - without disputes or misunderstandings. Shows how to find, document, and negotiate payment for every added delay and expense that slips past your early warning system.
Contractor’s Guide To Change Orders is designed to give you valuable guidance and working tools for increasing profits. Everything you need for lean, advantageous contract interpretation is in this single-volume workbook. You will be able to uncover all the hidden cost items for which you are entitled to receive compensation. What the architect would have previously clarified, for example, the owner will now process and pay for as a change order.
With this expanded new edition of Contractor's Guide to Change Orders in hand, contractors working on projects of any size - from remodeling jobs to skyscrapers - will have all the ammunition needed to:
- Keep hidden construction delays and expenses from draining profit. (Only a fraction of chargeable amounts are ever identified by the owner or architects involved.)
- Identify trouble spots in the contract, plans, specifications and site that are likely to result in added costs or delays.
- Find, document and negotiate payment for every added delay and expense that slips past your "early warning system."
- Negotiate and resolve change order disputes at every level so you are always a step ahead.
- Put all the facts on your side so that, if all else fails, you have ironclad evidence to support your claim during arbitration or litigation.
Each chapter contains step-by-step procedures, checklists, full-sized forms, and word-for-word letters that combine to make up the blueprint for the successful submittal of change orders. You will get all the information you need to increase your effectiveness in requesting change orders, while simplifying your work and boosting your change order approval rate and recovery.
