CHANGE-ORDER PLANNING
Freelance change-order template
Use a concise change order when a client requests work outside the original project scope. A useful note names the requested change, the added effort, the revised fee, and the schedule impact so both sides can review the same planning assumption.
Client-safe change-request structure
Requested change: [describe the added work]
Added hours: [estimated extra hours]
Added fee: [itemized added fee]
Revised project total: [original total plus added fee]
Schedule impact: [additional days]
Next step: [confirm approval before the added work begins]
Added hours: [estimated extra hours]
Added fee: [itemized added fee]
Revised project total: [original total plus added fee]
Schedule impact: [additional days]
Next step: [confirm approval before the added work begins]
Keep rate assumptions private
Your working rate, coordination buffer, and payment/platform fee can remain in a separate private planning summary. The QuoteKit planner uses the current browser-tab assumptions to calculate the added fee and keeps the client-safe note separate.
