Change Order Management for Construction
Track every scope change from the initial request through pricing, approval, and contract adjustment. BuildWorkPro keeps your change orders organized and your contract values accurate so nothing falls through the cracks.
Scope changes happen -- manage them properly
On a typical construction project, change orders can add 5-15% to the original contract value. For subcontractors, untracked changes mean unbilled work and margin erosion. BuildWorkPro gives you a structured process to document every change, price it accurately, get it approved, and fold it into your contract and billing automatically.
Every change order is linked to a project with a clear audit trail showing who requested it, when it was priced, when it was approved, and how it affected the total contract value. Your team can see pending COs at a glance and follow up before they become disputes.
Key capabilities
Create and track COs
Log change orders with a description, reason code, cost breakdown, and supporting documentation. Link each CO to the originating project and contract.
Approval workflow
Move change orders through Draft, Submitted, Approved, and Rejected statuses. Track who approved what and when, with timestamps and notes on every transition.
Automatic contract updates
When a change order is approved, BuildWorkPro automatically updates the project contract value. Your schedule of values and pay apps reflect the new totals immediately.
Cost impact tracking
See the financial impact of every change order -- labor, material, and equipment breakdowns. Track how COs affect your project margin in real time.
PDF generation
Generate professional change order documents for GC and client sign-off. Include scope descriptions, cost breakdowns, and approval signature lines.
Full audit trail
Every status change, comment, and document upload is logged with a timestamp. Protect yourself with a complete record if a CO becomes a dispute.
How it works
Log the change request
When the GC or owner requests additional scope, create a change order in BuildWorkPro with the description, reason, and any supporting documents.
Price the change
Add labor, material, and equipment costs. Apply your standard markup. BuildWorkPro calculates the total and shows the impact on the contract value.
Submit for approval
Send the CO to the GC or owner. Track the status as it moves through their review process. Follow up on pending COs from your dashboard.
Contract updates automatically
Once approved, the project contract value and schedule of values update automatically. The change order amount is available for billing on your next pay app.
