A foreman receives a verbal request for additional weekend work, while the contract requires written change authorization. Which response best follows that contract process?

Correct Answer

C) Document it and follow the change-notice procedure

Record who directed the additional work, give the required timely notice, and obtain authorization through the contract’s change process. This preserves the relevant record; it does not by itself establish entitlement or the amount due. Do not hide changed work in retainage or treat it as warranty work.
