Change Order Template (Excel + Word)

Scope changed mid-job? Get it in writing before you lift a finger. A professional change order system that protects you legally and keeps every client on the same page.

The most common reason contractors don't get paid for extra work is simple — nothing was signed. This template gives you a complete change order system: a running log to track every scope change on a job, and a clean printable form to get signed before any additional work starts. Both formats included.

Built for: plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, landscapers, painters, drywallers, carpenters, handymen, roofers, flooring installers, appliance & repair techs, and general contractors.

What's included

• Change Order Log (Excel .xlsx) — track every CO on a job with running totals; automatically separates approved vs pending change orders and calculates the revised contract total
• Change Order Form (Excel .xlsx) — full change order document with scope description, materials & labour impact, financial summary, and dual signature block
• Change Order Form (Word .docx) — clean printable version for on-site signing; same fields, formatted for print
• One-page Quick Start Guide (PDF)

Covers: reason for change · full scope description · materials & labour impact · additional cost or credit · schedule impact · revised contract total · payment terms · contractor and client signatures

Work shall not commence on any change until signed. That line is on every form — because it matters.

Format & Delivery: Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) + Microsoft Word (.docx) — also opens in Google Sheets, Google Docs & Apple equivalents — instant digital download — Canada & USA.
