Direct Change Orders Sample Clauses

The Direct Change Orders clause authorizes one party, typically the project owner, to unilaterally instruct changes to the scope of work without requiring prior agreement from the contractor. In practice, this means the owner can issue written directives to modify, add, or remove specific tasks, materials, or timelines, and the contractor is obligated to comply, with adjustments to contract price or schedule to be negotiated later. This clause streamlines the process for implementing necessary changes during a project, ensuring work can proceed without delay while still providing a mechanism for fair compensation and schedule adjustments.
