Why sign each change

No invoice surprises

Every extra is agreed in advance.

Clear timeline

Delays are documented too.

Fewer disputes

Verbal changes are the classic source of arguments.

Small changes too

Even small extras add up. A one-line signed change order takes a minute and saves you from a long list of 'you said it was fine' at the end.
