“Act as a construction project documentation specialist. I need to write a change order justification for a client. Here are the details: - Original scope: [describe what was originally planned] - Requested change: [describe what the client or conditions now require] - Cost impact: [dollar amount] - Why it costs this much: [rough notes on labor hours, material costs, equipment, subcontractor markups, schedule delays, or other factors] - Timeline impact: [any delay or acceleration needed] Write a clear, professional change order description that explains what changed, why the cost is justified, and what the client is getting. Use respectful, straightforward language that a non-technical property owner can understand. Break down the cost drivers without sounding defensive. Keep it under 250 words.”
