An owner's order to do extra work immediately even though the price has not been agreed upon yet.
A change directive is an owner's written instruction directing the contractor to proceed with changed work before a change order is agreed upon and executed. It is used when agreement on price or time cannot be reached but the work must proceed. The contractor proceeds under protest and costs are resolved later through negotiation or dispute resolution.
