Contratos y EjecuciónPregunta 813 de 1605
During a remodel, the owner asks the contractor to add a skylight not in the original plans. The BEST practice before performing this extra work is to:
a.Verbally agree and rely on memory
b.Refuse because contracts can never be modified
c.Prepare and have both parties sign a written change order describing the added scope and price before proceeding
d.Do the work first and add it to the final invoice as a surprise
Explicación
Best practice is to document any added or changed work with a signed written change order stating the new scope and price before performing it. This protects the contractor's right to payment and gives the owner clarity on cost. Performing extras without written authorization risks nonpayment disputes and, for many contracts, may violate license-law requirements that changes be in writing. Contracts can be modified; the key is doing so clearly and in writing.
