The method that is not utilized to make changes in construction work is addenda. Addenda are typically used during the bidding phase of a project to clarify or modify the original bid documents before contracts are finalized. They serve to inform potential bidders of changes or additional information that may affect their proposals but do not represent a direct alteration to the construction work itself.

Conversely, a minor change in work allows for small adjustments to be made without formal change order processes, while change directives and change orders are formal mechanisms used to implement significant changes in construction work. Change orders typically involve adjustments to the contract amount or time frame based on agreed-upon changes after the contract has been awarded. Change directives allow an owner to instruct the contractor to proceed with a change before a formal agreement on the cost is reached. Thus, addenda serve a distinct purpose and do not alter ongoing construction activities.
