    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

    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

    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
