A change order is a formal alteration to the original scope of work outlined in the construction contract. It can be required due to changes in design or material selection, additions to the scope, or unforeseen structural issues and repairs. Change orders will typically add both cost and time to a project, so minimizing them is key when trying to stay within your initial budget and timeline.

Pre-construction planning is the foundation of a unified project team and a successful project. At Durham Construction, we believe that well-planned is half-built and that every exceptional custom home or remodel project starts long before construction begins.
