What detail is typically included first in an addendum added to a construction contract?

  1. Name of architect/engineer or issuing agency

  2. Addendum and addendum member

  3. Opening remarks and instructions

  4. Date of addendum

The correct answer is: Name of architect/engineer or issuing agency

The first detail typically included in an addendum added to a construction contract is the name of the architect/engineer or issuing agency. This is essential for clarity and organization in any contractual documentation. Identifying the professional or agency responsible for issuing the addendum helps ensure that the information is recognized and taken seriously by all parties involved. When an addendum is issued, it serves to modify or clarify the original contract, and knowing the source of the addendum provides context about the authority behind the changes. It establishes credibility and helps all stakeholders understand who they should reach out to for further clarification regarding the modifications. The presence of this detail at the beginning of an addendum contributes to a cohesive structure, ensuring that subsequent information, such as specific changes, instructions, or effective dates, can be understood in the context of the authoritative source.
