Most construction contracts require change orders to be in writing, but many states enforce an "oral modification" exception when the parties' conduct shows agreement — especially when the changed work is performed and accepted without protest. Continued performance without written change orders can waive the writing requirement entirely.XXX-XXX-XXXXXXX-XXX-XXXX
Contractors who do extra work hoping to "true it up later" routinely lose those claims because the conduct shows acceptance of the original scope. A signed change order before the work is the cleanest evidence of agreement.XXX-XXX-XXXXXXX-XXX-XXXX
A bid bond protects the owner if the bidder refuses to enter the contract; it pays the difference between the rejected bid and the next responsive bid. A performance bond covers contractor non-performance during the project. A payment bond protects unpaid subcontractors and suppliers. Each has different claimants and triggers.XXX-XXX-XXXXXXX-XXX-XXXX
Subs frequently file claims against the wrong bond and lose them on procedural grounds without ever reaching the merits. Knowing which bond covers your specific exposure is table stakes for collections.XXX-XXX-XXXXXXX-XXX-XXXX
Foundation failures rarely originate at the slab; they originate in soil bearing capacity, drainage, or expansive-clay behavior that was either uninvestigated or not honored in the design. A geotechnical report that is older than the building's design or that did not sample at the actual building footprint is a red flag.XXX-XXX-XXXXXXX-XXX-XXXX
Foundation remediation costs typically exceed the original foundation cost by 5-10x. Investing in current, footprint-specific geotechnical work is the cheapest insurance a project carries.XXX-XXX-XXXXXXX-XXX-XXXX
