Free change order form
Projects change: a client asks for something extra, or something turns out to need more work. A change order records exactly what is changing and what that does to the price and the timing, signed by both sides before the work goes ahead. Everything else in the original agreement stays the same.
Who signs
Client and Supplier. Each signs on their own phone or computer from a link in an email, and neither needs an account.
What you fill in before sending
- The original agreement or project
- A change reference, if you use them
- What is changing
- The change to the price, with currency, or “no change”
- The change to the timing, or “no change”
- Which law applies, for example England and Wales, or the State of New York
What it covers
- The change
- Everything else stays the same
- Payment
- General terms
When to use it
- Building, renovation and trade work where the scope changes
- Design, software, events and other projects with an agreed scope and price
- Any time extra work would otherwise be agreed only by phone or message
When it’s not the right form
- Starting a new piece of work from scratch (use a full agreement)
- Large changes to complex contracts, where a lawyer should check the wording
How to get it signed
- Choose this template in Docket Secure. The wording and fields are laid out for you.
- Fill in the details above, then add the name and email address of each person who signs.
- Send it. Each person signs from their link and everyone receives the signed PDF.
Every signed PDF ends with an activity trail page, and you can check later that the file has not changed with the document checker. New accounts get a 7-day free trial with no card needed.
These are general starting points, not legal advice, and Docket Secure can’t check that a form suits your situation. For anything important or unusual, ask a lawyer where you are. For the rules on signing online, see the UK and the US guides.
