CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS
Change orders should preserve the decision trail.
A practical framework for documenting scope changes, cost impacts, schedule effects, approvals, and supporting records.
Required record
- Original scope reference.
- Description of changed work.
- Reason and requesting party.
- Labor, material, equipment, and subcontract impacts.
- Schedule effect.
- Approval status and date.
Product opportunity
A lightweight change-order app can generate consistent records, attach field evidence, calculate impacts, and export a professional summary without becoming a full project-management suite.
Governance
Users should be able to see assumptions and edit every cost input. The tool should never imply contractual approval.
