Identification
Project name, contract number, and change order identifier to link this document to the master contract and permits.
A written extension document clarifies scope and cost changes, reduces disputes, and provides an auditable approval trail that supports permitting, inspections, and payment processing. It also records acceptance of revised deliverables and protects parties by documenting responsibilities and timelines.
Several stakeholders prepare, review, or sign a bathroom extension document depending on project size and contract structure.
Identify the authorized signers in advance to prevent delays; include role titles and signing authority to ensure executed documents are enforceable.

| Signer Order | Set owner first or last depending on contract terms; use sequential routing for approvals. |
