Change Order Writer Skill

A change order that just says "extra work — $48,500" gets cut in half in review. A defensible one answers three questions before they're asked: why am I entitled (which contract clause, triggered by what event), what exactly changed (scope delta from the contract baseline), and what does it really cost (built-up pricing plus time). This skill drafts change orders that survive an owner's rep audit — and preserves rights on the impacts you can't price yet.

What This Skill Produces

• A complete change order request (COR/PCO) ready for letterhead
• Entitlement narrative citing the contract clause and the triggering event/document
• Scope delta — contract baseline vs. changed condition, with document references
• Pricing breakdown: labour, material, equipment, subcontractor cost, then OH&P per the contract markup provisions
• Schedule impact statement and a reservation of rights for cumulative/unquantified impacts
