When To Use
Use G714™ when the owner and architect need to direct a change to the work before the contractor has agreed to the adjustment in price or time, so construction can continue without delay.
What It Does
G714 is a directive for changes in the work to be used when the owner and contractor have not yet agreed on adjustments to the contract sum or contract time. Upon receipt, the contractor must promptly proceed with the directed change. The financial and time adjustment is determined later through negotiation or by the method specified in A201. It protects owners by maintaining project momentum while giving contractors a formal, documented record of the disputed change for subsequent negotiation.
