Compensation for Change Orders and Builder Allowance Underage is a construction industry practice of providing payment to the contractor for extra work, materials, and services that were not initially included in the project and/or subcontractor contracts. It also includes allowance for underage in the quantities of materials ordered by the contractor. There are two types of Compensation for Change Orders and Builder Allowance Underage: 1. Cost-Plus: A cost-plus compensation system allows the contractor to be reimbursed for the cost of the materials plus an agreed-upon percentage of the cost for labor and overhead. 2. Lump-Sum: A lump-sum compensation system requires the contractor to submit a bid for the entire project, including change orders, and is paid a fixed amount for the completion of the entire project.
