AB 626 Change Order Follow-up – Claim Notice

Last year, on behalf of the industry, we successively co-sponsored legislation (AB 626), regarding change order and extra work claims, to ensure a process that was fair and allowed contractors a path to initiate payment for that work.

Now that the law is in place, we have received requests to develop and provide a notice that our contractors may use when making a claim under the new statute.

Click here for a copy of that notice. A copy of the statute can be found here.
