Create a Directive

A directive is a request from an Architect, Owner, or Contractor asking another contractor to perform tasks that might not already be indicated in a contract.

Depending on the current work status a Directive may or may not have a cost or schedule impact on the project. A Directive that changes the Scope of Work should be incorporated into a Change Order to document the change regardless of a cost or schedule impact.
