Which Constructive Changes Step is described as 'Files a request for change order'?

• A. Step 0
• B. Step 3
• C. Step 2
• D. Step 1

Answer: (C)

The action being tested is the formal initiation of a constructive change. When the contractor files a request for a change order, they are turning a potential modification into a written proposal that outlines the scope, cost, and schedule implications. This filing starts the official change-order process and triggers review, negotiation, and eventual decision-making by the owner or designer. This step sits after the initial recognition that a modification may be needed and before the change is reviewed, agreed upon, and implemented. It’s the point at which the change becomes a documented, formal request rather than just a verbal or informal acknowledgement. That’s why this item corresponds to the second step in the constructive changes sequence.
