Yes — credit change orders (negative change orders) reduce the contract price when scope is deleted or substituted with less costly materials. A credit change order follows the same documentation process as an additive one: written description of the deleted or reduced scope, the cost credit, any schedule impact, and both parties’ signatures. The credit reflects actual cost savings to the contractor — not the full contract price for the deleted item, because the contractor has already incurred some costs (planning, supervision, coordination, potentially material ordering) related to the item even if it won’t be installed. Credit change orders are used in value engineering exercises, client-initiated deletions, and situations where design changes eliminate previously contracted scope. RainFire Builders applies the same discipline to credit change orders as to additive ones.
