Questions
About change order proposals.
How is this different from change order pricing?
Change order pricing is the estimate: quantities and cost for the revision. A change order proposal is the package around that number, including the notice, the narrative, the backup and the deadline tracking. Many changes need both.
Why does notice timing matter?
Some contracts set a period for asserting a right to an adjustment. The standard federal changes clause, for example, limits adjustment for costs incurred before notice in some cases. Your own contract controls, so we track the dates you identify and do not interpret them.
Do you give legal advice on entitlement?
No. We organize the backup and the response. Entitlement, claims and contract interpretation are for your team and your counsel, and your team signs and sends everything.
