Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Deb,

Anoon is right as there are also in some contracts like I have a term called "Adjustment Order".

So it all depends upon how the term is defined in your Contract.

Regards,

Ashraf

if it’s defined in your Contract, then that’s the definition, otherwise, forget it! i suppose Variations and Change Orders got the same intent

Hello Anoon,
My contract mentions "variation" -any change to the works , which is instructed or approved as a variation under clause 13( Variations and Adjustments ).
Change order is not mentioned
