This study examines how design change clauses should be formulated in design and build contracts so that legal certainty is maintained when the scope, cost, and time of construction work change during implementation. The issue is relevant because Indonesian construction law has recognized integrated construction services, while procurement regulations have continued to develop through Presidential Regulation Number 16 of 2018 and its amendments up to Presidential Regulation Number 46 of 2025. However, the prevailing regulatory framework still leaves room for uncertainty regarding the authority to propose design changes, the evaluation process, the approval mechanism, and the proportional adjustment of contract value and completion time. This research uses normative legal methods with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The findings show that legal certainty in design and build contracts cannot rely solely on general change-order clauses, because design changes directly affect risk allocation, quality control, and project accountability. Therefore, the article formulates a model clause consisting of written submission, documented technical and financial evaluation, clearly identified approval authority, proportional compensation adjustment, and mandatory addendum documentation. Such a clause can reduce multi-interpretation, strengthen contractual balance, and provide more predictable legal protection for both service users and service providers.
