New York rules that this document follows
| Written change order required | Not required by a confirmed statute — a written, signed amendment is still the only reliable proof of the changeSource: Common law of contracts; state statute of frauds |
|---|---|
| Signature before the changed work | No confirmed statutory rule; sign before the changed work starts so the extra is not disputed laterSource: Common law of contracts; state statute of frauds |
| Price and schedule in the order | No confirmed statutory content rule — state both the price effect and the schedule effect anywaySource: Common law of contracts; state statute of frauds |
| Payment for the change | Every progress payment must bear a reasonable relationship to the amount of work to be performed, the materials to be purchased or the expenses the contractor is obligated for at the time of payment, which limits what may be collected up front for a change.Source: N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 771(1)(f) |
| Licence number on the paperwork | Required on the home improvement contract, so it is printed on the change order too — county or city licensing agency (New York City, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland or Putnam)Source: N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 771(1)(a) |
| Lien rights for the extra work | Work added by a signed change order is lienable: it counts as labor and materials furnished for the improvement under this state's mechanics lien chapter.Source: N.Y. Lien Law art. 2, §§ 3 et seq. (mechanics' liens) |
