Owner-Directed Changes Clause Samples
The Owner-Directed Changes clause grants the project owner the authority to make modifications to the scope of work during the course of a contract. This can include changes to design, materials, schedule, or other project specifications, and typically requires the contractor to implement these changes as directed. The clause usually outlines procedures for documenting changes, adjusting contract price or timelines, and resolving disputes over the impact of such changes. Its core function is to provide flexibility for the owner to adapt the project to evolving needs while establishing a clear process for managing and compensating for those changes.
