Change Order Template
Updated 2026

Stop losing money on Electrician projects.

One faulty wire or a client 'forgetting' to pay turns your hard work into a bankruptcy hearing and a repo man taking your truck. If you don't have it in writing, you're just a guy providing free copper and labor to a stranger.

Pro Contractor Tip

Include a 'Change Order' clause that requires a signed signature and price adjustment before you touch a single wire outside the original scope.

Client Ghosting

Without upfront financial commitment, clients can disappear mid-project.

Infinite Revisions

Without a documented scope of work, you risk doing unpaid tweaks forever.

Chasing Checks

Waiting 30 days for a paper check severely impacts freelance cash flow.

Why use a written agreement?

Handshake deals are risky. As a Electrician, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone understands the deliverables before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stop the client from adding 'just one more outlet' every day?

A written Scope of Work is your shield; if it isn't on the list, you stop work and explain that additional tasks require a signed change order and extra cash.

What do I do if the price of copper spikes after I've already given a bid?

Put a Material Escalation clause in your agreement so the client covers market increases over 5%, keeping your profit from evaporating.

How can I make sure I'm not waiting sixty days for the final check?

Set a Progress Payment schedule in your contract that ties checks to physical milestones like 'Rough-in Completion,' so you aren't financing the client's project with your own mortgage money.
