ReplyDeleteAspects of verbal change orders is discussed in the 3/16 Schiff-Hardin Lecture. I got this highly recommended link thru ARE forum, an entire course audio record with notes (taught by a Chicago construction lawyer) is available here: http://www.schiffhardin.com/design-build/architecture544_Spring2010.htm
ReplyDeleteI assume the professor is using the 2007 AIA documents?
ReplyDeleteYes, and the link to the lectures has been updated: http://www.schiffhardin.com/design-build/lecture-notes/architecture-544---spring-2011
