The purpose of a change order is to document any changes to the original scope of work, contract or project plan. It outlines the agreed-upon changes in terms of scope, time, cost, and/or resources required to complete the project. Change orders are a formal and structured way of managing any alterations to the original project plan, ensuring that all parties are aware of the changes and agreeing to the revised parameters. This helps to prevent disputes or misunderstandings regarding project scope, budget or timelines.
