FEATURE ARTICLE
Changing Change Orders...
By:
Christopher M. Ernst
 Where
is the construction project that is completed without the
necessity of a change or two somewhere throughout the
process? Typically, construction contracts provide for such
changes by giving the owner a unilateral right to change the
contract by paying a fair and reasonable compensation to the
contractor for making such a change. However, contracts
usually do not afford the opportunity to a contractor to make
changes without the express agreement of the owner.
