What is a Construction Change Order?

This video covers what a change order is and how to reduce potential change orders during your construction project. This is a very brief overview but can be helpful for owners, architects and even contractors when thinking about building a new project.
Who am I?
I am the owner and founder of Well Works.
www.livingwellworks.org
Well Works was built to equip individuals within the construction industry with the "essential skills" (i.e., soft skills/ people skills, trust, respect, motivation, and communication) necessary to build successful people, projects, and teams.
The Well Works Leadership Development Program (WWLDP) is the current main program offering and is built to equip front-line construction leaders with tools and information to efficiently and effectively lead our teams within our fast-paced, high-stress industry. This mobile-based, micro-learning program is specifically built using first-hand construction experience to work with our hectic schedules (not against them) by providing actionable resources relevant to everyday construction challenges without ever having to leave the job site. Since it is mobile, it is available nationwide

Thank you so much

Love your videos, they have been super helpful in better understanding the industry. Would you do a video on construction financials and managing a budget?

[@thegirlinthehardhat]

Megan, Thank you! In all honesty, I am likely not the most qualified to speak on financials. Managing a budget...maybe? But I am afraid my perspective and experience wouldn't be as beneficial as others in the industry on this topic. The first place I would look for this Levelset. They have a series of webinars with industry professionals who would likely have much more expertise in this area than I would. www.levelset.com/webinars/?nav=true

I saw a tidbit in the GTC newsletter and ended up watching all your videos. I'm a big fan of your work. I wish I would have stumbled upon something like this 5 years ago when I started in the industry. Looking forward to the next parts!

Amanda,
I am glad to hear you like it! Honestly it is something I wish I would have had when I first entered the industry as well. Thank you for watching. If you are not already, be sure to subscribe as I try to get new videos out each week!

A change order is used to blow up a price of a project to take advantage of a customer. Its really that simple. You get a contract to underbid competitor and then they jack up the price
