= Introduction =

In a contract, the rights and obligations are created by the acts of agreement between the parties to the contractual arrangement. English law does not require a particular form to contracts, therefore the terms and ultimately the risk allocation is the choice of the parties involved. Standard Form Contracts (SFC) aim to minimise the time and cost of negotiating contracts.

= Changes to contracts =

Modifications to SFCs may be required. These additional provisions generally come in the form of amendments, but they can also come as an addendum.

An addendum (or the plural, addenda) is written information that has been added - traditionally by the owner - to the original agreement with the contractor. The information in an addendum is usually meant to be incorporated into the contract once the contract is executed.

= Amendment vs addendum =

These two vehicles are similar, but they are structured differently and are used in different situations.

== Amendment ==

In simplest terms, an amendment is a change to an existing contract once the contract has been executed. In some cases, it may become necessary to amend a contract due to unforeseen circumstances. For instance, if certain clauses become obsolete or the industry shifts and requires the inclusion of new terms, amendments may be required.

== Addendum ==

An addendum is something that is meant to be added to a contract as supplementary information for the purpose of clarification. It is meant to be covered by the terms of the final contract once the contract has been executed.

= Types of addenda =

There are some instances where addenda in construction documentation may be suitable. Some examples include:

* Acceleration agreements. It is usual for acceleration agreements or costs to be treated as an addendum to the building contract. Sometimes acceleration agreements can be negotiated as an addendum to the contract in lieu of extensions of time caused by elements constituting client’s risk.
* BIM addendum. This addendum provides for a sophisticated information management structure, an information manager, a BIM execution plan and BIM protocols. There is also a risk allocation and insurance provisions in relation to infringement of copyright and data loss.
* Conservation area appraisals. A short addendum may be a cost-effective means of updating a conservation area appraisal, removing the need to undergo a more extensive redrafting process.
