What Is a Change Order? Understanding the Process at BEC Innovations

by | Jun 20, 2025

No matter how well a renovation is planned, surprises sometimes pop up once we open the walls. That’s why BEC Innovations has a clear and transparent change order process—to keep your project on track and ensure you stay informed every step of the way.

🔄 What Is a Change Order?

A change order is any modification to the original scope of work after your contract is signed. This could be:

  • Uncovering something unexpected (like water damage or outdated wiring)
  • You deciding to upgrade or change materials mid-project
  • Adding or removing elements of the renovation as the project evolves

At BEC Innovations, we don’t believe in “surprise charges.” Every change order is documented, priced, and approved by you before we move forward.

🧱 Common Examples of Change Orders

  • Swapping out one tile for another after selections were finalized
  • Adding recessed lighting to a room not originally scoped for it
  • Discovering hidden plumbing issues behind a wall
  • Deciding to paint additional rooms or replace more flooring during the project

Our Change Order Process

  1. We Identify the Need
    Whether it’s due to an onsite discovery or a client request, we’ll flag it quickly and communicate it clearly.
  2. We Provide Documentation
    You’ll receive a written change order detailing:

    • The description of the change
    • The cost difference (if any)
    • Any impact on the timeline
  3. You Approve Before We Proceed
    Nothing gets done without your sign-off. We don’t start work on the change until you’re fully on board.
  4. We Track It All
    Change orders are tracked in your project documentation and included in progress billing, so your invoices match exactly what’s happening on-site.

We know changes can be stressful—especially if they’re unexpected. Our team is here to guide you through every pivot, answer your questions honestly, and make sure you understand your options before making any decisions.
