DELETEING INSTALLED RECPT.

[dicklaxt]

Agreed.

However, there are also instances where revised 'approved' drawings reach the site before the original "approved" installation is complete. In this case, there should be no change order unless it involves extra material and labor cost to the contractor... and again, how this is to be handled should be spelled out in the contract.

True to the end but if any portion of the oringinal document that was issued for construction was installed whether completed or not it is a legal change order/scope change.

It would be 2 change orders actually. It really depends on the status of the project though. The boxes in the wall would stay there and get blanked off. dependant upon if you remove a receptacle or not depends on if you add more money for the labor to remove in for that but a cover is a cover , whether it be blank recep whatever. then you would go and price your change of intercepting the circuit at some point and moving to the new area. the other change would actually be an add because your not giving them the receptacles that were on the base contract, Whether it be just the receptacles themselves you would have to do a deductive change order. I hate deducts, they should be outlawed

Nope. It's 1 change. The recepts are gone in the bubbled drawing, then they are gone in the change. You better have dollars in there to remove them back to a source. NO ARCHITECT will allow blanked off device in their new building.
Good luck going back asking for more money

Well I was trying to avoid getting into the legal aspect because it will vary state to state and partly due to the wording of the contract....

...but I will agree that revised drawings approved for construction through the AHJ does make the revisions legally documented...
