Navigating Change Orders in Construction with Ease

SHARE ON

In my 40 years of experience building custom homes, I’ve learned that not all change orders are created equal. Some tweaks, like swapping a countertop material, are fairly straightforward, while others, such as altering the layout after framing, can be costly and disruptive. That’s why I emphasize a collaborative design phase, working closely with clients to minimize surprises by ensuring we capture the right vision upfront. However, I understand that sometimes needs evolve as the project comes to life.

During construction, I handle change requests with transparency, discussing both costs and timeline impacts openly. Simple requests may involve cosmetic changes, which are usually easier to integrate, while structural modifications require more consideration. My job is to help you make informed decisions—offering alternatives when possible to achieve your goals without compromising quality or budget.

Communication is key in keeping projects on track. By discussing changes promptly and candidly, we can maintain both timeline and budget controls effectively. If you’re planning a custom home and value an honest, expert-guided approach to managing the construction process, reach out. I’d be happy to discuss it further.
