Client's changed their mind mid-job? Issue a variation in two minutes, before you down tools.
For subbies and small firms on live jobs where the client is asking for extras or changes and you need written confirmation before you do it.
Sound familiar?
- “The client keeps adding "just one more thing" and you're not sure how to charge for it.”
- “You did the extra work, and now they're disputing it because nothing was in writing.”
- “You need the variation agreed before you start — not argued over at the final invoice.”
What this tool does
Generates a one-page variation order with scope, price, programme impact, and signature line. Fills in client, site, original contract reference, and a dated variation number. Exports to PDF.
Variations are the number one cause of domestic client disputes. A written, signed variation order before the work starts is the single best protection. Record what changed, why, the price impact, the programme impact, and get both signatures.
Disclaimer: This form records a change to agreed work. It is not a contract and does not replace legal advice on complex variations. Both parties should sign before the varied work starts.
