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.
