Work Directive Change Clause Samples
A Work Directive Change clause allows one party, typically the project owner or client, to formally instruct changes to the scope, nature, or details of the work being performed under a contract. This clause outlines the process for issuing such directives, including how changes are communicated, documented, and agreed upon, and may specify how adjustments to cost, schedule, or deliverables are handled. Its core practical function is to provide a structured mechanism for managing modifications during a project, ensuring that both parties have clarity and agreement on any changes, thereby reducing disputes and maintaining project alignment.

A written directive to Contractor, issued on or after the effective date of the Agreement pursuant to Section 5.8 and signed by Owner’s Project Representative, ordering an addition, deletion or revision in the Work, or responding to differing or unforeseen physical conditions under which the Work is to be performed or responding to emergencies.

All Work Directive Changes must be signed by the Company and will state the maximum sum the Company is obligated to pay. If the Contractor agrees to complete the changed work for the stated maximum sum, the Work Directive shall be converted to a change order. If the Contractor cannot agree to complete the changed work for the stated sum, the maximum sum shall limit the amount the Company shall pay to the Contractor on a cost accounting basis for the changed work actually performed.
