Executing the document.
When the Owner and Design-Builder have reached agreement on the change to be made in the Contract, including any adjustments in the Contract Sum (or Guaranteed Maximum Price) and Contract Time, AIA Document G741 should be executed in duplicate by the two parties, each retaining an original. It should also be noted that the Design-Builder, by executing AIA Document G741, represents that any Project design changes implemented by this Change Order have been reviewed and approved in writing by the Architect or other licensed design professionals of record for the Project.
