Prepared by the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC).

The EJCDC® D-940 Work Change Directive—Design-Build is a vital tool for project owners to efficiently manage modifications to ongoing work without delaying progress. This document allows owners to issue unilateral directives to design-build teams, ensuring that work continues while the impact on contract price and time is determined. Designed to reduce project delays, the D-940 provides flexibility and clarity, making it ideal for projects requiring quick decisions or those involving third-party funding approvals. Fully customizable to suit specific project needs, the D-940 is part of the comprehensive 2026 EJCDC Design-Build Series, offering industry-standard solutions for effective project management.

EJCDC includes the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Council of Engineering Companies, the National Society of Professional Engineers, and the participation of more than fifteen other professional engineering design, construction, owner, legal, and risk management organizations.

EJCDC documents are delivered in Microsoft Word format (file extension *.doc). Microsoft Word is required if you wish to edit the files.
