When To Use
Use G701™ when the owner, contractor, and architect have reached an agreement on a change and its implications for a design-bid-build project. All three parties must sign the completed form before it takes effect.
What It Does
G701 is used to implement changes to the work agreed to by the owner, contractor, and architect. Execution of a completed G701 indicates agreement upon all terms of the change, including any changes in the contract sum (or guaranteed maximum price) and contract time. The form allows for signatures from the owner, architect, and contractor, helping protect the project from scope disputes as the work evolves.
Additional Information
For changes that must proceed before agreement is reached, use G714.
