A change order form covers what changed, who’s responsible for permits and inspections, schedule impact, and what the updated price should include.
Walls get opened, materials get backordered, or a decision changes midstream, and suddenly the job needs a written record before the cost and timeline drift. This change order form collects the details that turn “can we change this?” into something you can review and price, so nobody treats the project like an open checkbook once the work starts.
The form opens with a short note about requesting a written change order, then moves into contact fields and a Change order details prompt that asks what changed, what it affects, and how to proceed. The rest of the questions match the stuff people worry about when work gets real: how unexpected damage behind walls gets handled, who arranges permits and inspections, what schedule looks realistic once demolition starts, and what the change order price is expected to include... so the answers come back in the same shape every time.
- Change Order Form Explains that the request gets reviewed and a written price and schedule update comes back before extra work starts.
- Your name Captures the requester’s name as a required field so the response is tied to a person.
- Email address Collects a required email address for follow-up and sending the written update.
- Change order details Asks what changed, what it affects, and how the requester wants you to proceed.
- Permits and inspections Records who will arrange permits and handle inspections, with a choice including a third party option.
Inside Plutio, the form collects responses, so you’ve got one place to review what was requested before you send a written price and schedule update. The page uses teal and sand with Zilla Slab headings over Inter body text, which keeps the questions feeling more like documentation than sales copy.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.
