Your customer requests some upgrades to the house you are building. You should document these changes in writing in a change order and also include a detailed description of the work to be done. What else should the change order include?

• A. Any change in the contract amount.
• B. Schedule of work
• C. Warranty details
• D. Contractors license number

Answer: (A)

When upgrades are requested, a change order should clearly show the new financial impact as part of the formal amendment to the contract. Recording any change in the contract amount is essential because it precisely defines what the owner will pay and what the contractor will complete, preventing payment disputes later. The price adjustment ties directly to the altered scope, so both parties have a shared, written understanding of the updated total and how it will be billed. Other details like a schedule of work, warranty specifics, or the contractor’s license number aren’t inherently required in every change order; scheduling can be handled separately or updated if timing changes, while warranty and license information belong in other contract documents rather than in the price amendment.
