When it comes to construction and remodeling projects, one thing is certain—plans can change. Whether it’s a new idea during the build, a material substitution, or an unforeseen condition in the structure, adjustments are a normal part of any construction project. At DJ Custom Builders LLC, we believe in transparency, communication, and professionalism throughout every step, including when a change order is needed.

What Is a Change Order?

A change order is a formal, written document that modifies the original scope of work, contract price, or project timeline. It ensures that both the client and the contractor are in full agreement about the change before any additional work is performed.

Common reasons for change orders include:

• Design modifications – The client decides to add, remove, or alter features or finishes.
• Unforeseen conditions – Hidden issues such as structural damage, plumbing leaks, or electrical deficiencies discovered during construction.
• Upgrades or substitutions – Choosing higher-end materials or products after the project begins.
• Code or inspection requirements – Adjustments required to meet updated building codes or inspector recommendations.

How DJ Custom Builders Handles Change Orders

At DJ Custom Builders, we pride ourselves on maintaining clear communication and professionalism in every phase of your project. Our goal is to make the change order process as simple, transparent, and stress-free as possible.

Here’s what our clients can expect:

1. Clear Communication

2. Written Documentation
   Every change order is documented in writing. This includes a clear description of the work to be added or removed, the cost difference, and any adjustments to the project schedule. We never proceed without your written approval, ensuring full transparency and accountability.
3. Updated Cost and Schedule
   Before work begins, you’ll receive an updated estimate that reflects the changes. This helps you stay on top of your project budget and prevents surprises down the road.
