282. Scope of Work, Change Order, and Addendum: The Three Documents Every Interior Designer Needs on Every Project

June 2, 2026·31 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

There are three documents every interior designer managing construction projects needs to understand. And most don't, not fully.   Not because they're complicated. Because nobody ever explained the difference between them and why each one matters so much.   In this episode, I'm walking through the scope of work, the change order, and the addendum to scope of work; what each one does, when to use it, and what it costs you when you don't. I'm also talking about how these three documents together answer the question every client is quietly asking: why do I need a designer, and is this worth the investment?   Because when you run a project with clear documentation and a system your whole team understands, you stop having to explain your value. Your clients feel it. Your contractors trust it. And your projects end the way they deserve to.   Mentioned in this episode: Join The Designer's Edge waitlist here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/construction-management-interior-designers Grab Your Free Script Guide here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/push-back-script-handout Access the full video interview with Elana Steele of Steele Appliance here: https://www.reneedevignierdesign.com/appliance   Find the full shownotes at: https://devignierdesign.com/three-documents-interior-design-project
