Contratos y EjecuciónPregunta 815 de 1605
Which statement about oral change orders on a construction project is most accurate?
a.They are always fully enforceable and preferred
b.They are risky because scope and price disputes are hard to prove, and written change orders are strongly preferred
c.They automatically void the entire original contract
d.They convert the contract into a public works contract
Explicación
Oral change orders are legally possible in some situations but are risky because they invite later disputes over exactly what was agreed and at what price, which are difficult to prove. Written change orders are strongly preferred and, for many contracts, required. An oral change does not transform a private job into public works, nor does it void the original contract; it simply creates evidentiary and, sometimes, compliance problems.
