The little boat is called a dingy and the owner named it Origional Contract.

The big boat is called a big boat and the owners named it Change Order.

Is that what had you so confused or why the name of the boat?

Clear as mud?

The reason for it being in the construction equipment forum is I thought that most guys that check this forum would understand the relationship between Change Order and Contract.

A Contract is the origional work order with a set price for a set amount of work.

A Change Order is over and above the origional contract, like if you are digging a trench and find rock in the trench and can not just dig it out, you have to either hammer it out or blast it out. You would get a change order for T & M (time & material). This is a really good way to make money really quick.

Most companies that I work with make more money on change orders than they do on contracts. This is because they have to have the lowest price to even get the job so they barely make any money (still make enought to stay in biz though) with the contract and hope for change orders to make more profit off of.

It it clear as mud now?
If not I "give:

I guess that assuming did you know what
