Answer to Question 1

In order for a contractor to protect himself or herself when a constructive change occurs on a project, and the engineer refuses to issue a change order, the contractor should notify the engineer that he or she intends to file a claim to be compensated for what they interpret to be additional work. In this situation, the contractor is claiming that a constructive change occurred and that a change order should have been issued for the work. The contractor will still perform the work but a claim will be filed for additional compensation that will be reviewed during negotiations, arbitration, or litigation depending on which dispute resolution method is used for a project.
