Add a change order
Extra work (or less) after the client approved the estimate.
What it is
When the client asks for more after approving, don't edit the approved estimate: add a change order. You keep a signed record of every change and the contract total stays right.
1 Create it
- Open the approved estimate.
- In Change orders, click New change order.
- Add the new lines (or a negative line for work removed) and click Save.
A change order lists only what changes, not the whole job again.
2 Get it approved
- Click Email to send it — the client approves and signs it like an estimate.
- The estimate shows the Contract total: the original plus every approved change order.
