Question

You are contracted to build an 8-foot high block wall 100 feet long in the location identified on the plans. While digging the footing the Owner comes by and asks if you could extend the wall another 10 feet and asks you approximately how much it will cost. You give him an estimate. He says go ahead. But later in the Owner decides he does not wish to spend the extra money but forgets to tell you. After you build the wall with the extra 10 feet you ask for a change order. The Owner refuses saying he never actually signed a change order from you. Do you have a legal right to demand payment?

Explanation / Answer

this is very typical situation , you have to get signed when ever change in work and owner too should have some ethics and morals . you will not get any benefit of legal right to demand payment rather you have to convence the owner and take sign for new work order (even for less rate than before) and get payment accordingly.
