Petty Coach Schmidt Micro Mondays presented Ten Commandments of Construction Change Orders. Know thy contract. Do not give away thy leverage. Never perform change work without written signed authorized change order. Ryan Young tracked everything with PCO number in CMIC. Thy job is not finished until the money be collected.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Ten Commandments: know contract, do not give away leverage, never perform without written signed authorized change order, depend not on attorneys, if ask not receive not
• Time is money: have pricing down, get money and time for changes, read the rules
• Surprise not thy owner: advanced notice regarding potential cost increases, team tried to absorb then surprised owner at end, didn't get work again
• Be persistent: persistence gets results, bargaining power equal unless don't know rules or throw away leverage
• Ryan Young system: nothing done without PCO number tracked in CMIC, never started work without financial approval, finished right on time

Are you stomping ants while elephants run wild, are you straining at gnats and swallowing camels when it comes to managing change orders properly.
