Business operations concept · updated August 9, 2026
Change Order
A change order is a formal, agreed document recording a change to a project's scope, timeline, or price after work has begun.
Example
Midway through a project, a client asks for an additional deliverable; both sides sign a change order updating the price and timeline before the new work starts.
Why it matters
A signed change order prevents the disagreement that happens when added scope was done informally and the client later disputes the extra cost.
Limits and cautions
Requiring a change order for every tiny adjustment can create friction that discourages reasonable small accommodations.
Relevance to Stelaah
Stelaah's project and contract records can hold a change order attached to the project it modifies, keeping the full history visible.
