Launching first AI employee · Change Order Manager

Every change order, verified before it reaches your desk.

The Change Order Manager reads every change order your subcontractors email, checks it, and keeps you, your owner and your subs on one live view. Nobody has to learn a new tool.

CO-01 The problem

Change orders are where project budgets leak.

Each one arrives as an email and a PDF. It gets logged by hand, checked from memory and chased for weeks. Duplicates slip in because a project runs for years and nobody can remember every line already priced.

CO-02 What it checks

The four questions every reviewer asks.

The Change Order Manager answers them before you open the change order, with the source for every answer.

  • Is it a real change?It finds the reason, such as an RFI, an architect's instruction or a site condition, and checks it against the contract scope.
  • Has it already been priced?It compares every line with earlier change orders, instructions and field tickets on the job.
  • Is the price right?It compares every unit price with the sub's agreed rates and what they charged before.
  • Is the backup complete?Quotes, signed time-and-material tickets, photos and drawings that the claim relies on.

  2. It's read and loggedEvery change order in the email becomes its own record. Revisions join the original.
  3. It's checkedScope, duplicates, prices and backup, each with its source.
  4. You decideSend it to the owner, send it back, or reject it, from a one-line verdict.
  5. It's followed throughOwner decision, the subcontract change order, and reminders whenever someone goes quiet.

CO-05 No new tools
