Custom Change Order Workflow Software for Contractors
"Every undocumented scope change is money you'll never get back."
The Problem
Why change orders fall through the cracks
- Scope changes happen verbally in the field and never make it into the system
- Approval workflows are slow, manual, and inconsistent
- By the time a change order is documented, the work is already done at your cost
- There's no visibility into how much margin is being lost to undocumented changes
- GCs and owners dispute changes because the documentation trail is incomplete
What We Deliver
Change order systems that protect your margin
Field Example
What this looks like in the field
A specialty contractor estimated they were losing $15K to $25K per project on undocumented scope changes. Supers would handle the extra work, mention it to the PM days later, and by then the client had already moved on. We built a mobile change order system that let supers initiate COs from the field with photos, auto-routed them for approval, and tracked margin impact. They recovered over $180K in the first year from changes that would have gone unbilled.
