Check before you use it

Confirm every price and the net change yourself, and check the change order matches the change process in your contract. Get the client's written approval before starting the extra work, and check local rules on permits for the changed scope.

When not to use AI for this

If the change involves structural work, a dispute over who pays, or a client refusing to sign, talk to your engineer or a construction lawyer rather than relying on a drafted document.

Questions

Can AI write change orders for contractors?

It can turn your notes into a clear change order and client email in minutes. You still set the price and must get the client's written approval before the work.

Why put every change in writing?

A signed change order records what was agreed, what it costs and how it affects the schedule, which helps avoid arguments at the final invoice.
