InEight Change Software Features
Streamlined Change Order Management for Capital Construction
InEight Change delivers continuous visibility into how construction projects adapt and evolve. By centralizing change order management, it mitigates risk, protects margins, and aligns stakeholders across every phase of capital project delivery. From issue identification to approval, InEight Change ensures complete traceability—providing project owners and contractors with the clarity and control needed to manage change with confidence.
InEight Change Is Part of an Integrated Construction Project Controls Solution
The modular, integrated InEight platform connects cost, contract, schedule, and change data across all phases of a capital project. InEight Change connects with InEight Control, InEight Contract, and InEight Plan & Progress to synchronize budgets, commitments, and field activity — ensuring every approved change is reflected instantly throughout the project ecosystem.
Explore InEight Change’s Capabilities for Complete Change Order Management
InEight Change standardizes and automates every step of the change order process — from issue creation and pricing to approval and budget integration. These features ensure full visibility, accountability, and auditability throughout the entire change lifecycle.
Capabilities standardizing every stage of the change order process for full visibility and auditability.
| Function | Capability | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Change Order Management | Track pending vs. approved cost and revenue changes | Track every change and maintain alignment across financial systems. InEight Change helps you track pending versus approved cost and revenue changes, log revised budgets, and flag unapproved work to highlight potential cost exposure. When integrated, change orders can automatically update InEight Control and InEight Contract, keeping financial forecasts and contractual values in sync. Real-time dashboards surface work-at-risk items and pending approvals to help you address scope creep before it impacts the bottom line. |
| Issue & Change Tracking | Log and track all project issues and potential changes (PCOs) through resolution | Gain full visibility into every issue and change request. InEight Change helps you record every issue or change request with comprehensive details and track its status through to resolution. This centralized log provides full visibility into outstanding and resolved changes to ensure you prevent scope creep and maintain control over evolving project requirements. |
| Field Change Initiation | Allow field teams to initiate issues or changes directly from RFIs or observations | Capture change impacts directly from the field. InEight Change enables field crews to create issues or change requests directly from RFIs, observations, or mobile forms. These field-initiated entries automatically populate the change log for evaluation to ensure no potential change goes unrecorded and to accelerate the overall evaluation process. |
| Change Workflow & Approvals | Route change orders through predefined approval steps (internal and client) | Standardize and control the approval process for every change. InEight Change allows you to manage PCO approvals with configurable workflows, automated notifications, and real-time status updates. You can route changes through predefined sequences—such as project manager, commercial lead, and client—enforce approval thresholds, and track who approved what and when to ensure you maintain governance and accountability. |
| Grouping & Change Order Creation | Group multiple PCOs into a single formal Change Order for execution | Consolidate related changes for faster approvals and cleaner records. InEight Change supports you in combining multiple related PCOs into a single Commitment Change Order (CCO) for execution and contract update. This approach streamlines approvals, reduces administrative overhead, and ensures you capture all related scope adjustments together for accuracy and efficiency. |
| Reporting & Audit Trail | Generate change logs, issue histories, and full audit trails of all actions | Maintain auditability and insight across all change activity. InEight Change enables you to generate customizable reports on change metrics—such as number of PCOs by status or average approval time—and maintain a complete audit trail of all change actions. Detailed histories show who created, reviewed, and approved each change, supporting governance and compliance reviews with full transparency and traceability. |
Features providing transparent pricing, markups, and financial control across all approved changes.
| Function | Capability | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Change Pricing & Markups | Develop pricing for changes, including ROM estimates and markups | Ensure accurate and transparent change costing. InEight Change enables you to input detailed cost estimates for labor, materials, and equipment, and apply custom markups or contingency percentages within each Potential Change Order (PCO). This transparent costing approach lets teams see both raw costs and applied margins to ensure accurate financial impact assessments. |
| Budget Change Management | Reallocate budget items without formal change orders when appropriate | Adapt budgets in real time while maintaining full auditability. InEight Change allows you to create budget moves without requiring formal change orders when appropriate. Approved changes update the working budget while preserving the original baseline for audit, giving project teams the flexibility to respond quickly to evolving needs while retaining a complete record of every transfer. |
| Change Order Logging in Contract | Maintain a contract change log and update values with approved changes | Maintain a complete audit trail of all approved changes. InEight Change ensures you can sync approved changes with InEight Contract, updating revised contract values complete with full history. Every contract amendment—including dates, amounts, and approvals—is recorded to help you maintain a clear, auditable record of how and when contract values evolved. |
Capabilities to keep budgets and forecasts aligned with change orders automatically through connected data flow.
| Function | Capability | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Budget Integration of Changes | Automatically update project budgets and forecasts when changes are approved | Keep budgets and forecasts aligned with approved changes. InEight Change supports you by feeding approved change orders directly into InEight Control, automatically adjusting budgets and forecasts. This ensures you always work from the latest approved scope while maintaining the original baseline for audit and variance analysis. |
| Budget Change Control | Workflows for budget changes and automatic budget updates | Maintain governance and prevent unauthorized budget changes. InEight Change enables formal control of budget modifications by routing change requests through approval workflows. Once approved, the working budget is automatically updated in InEight Control—with a full audit trail of who made each adjustment, when, and why—to ensure transparent governance and accountability. |
| Cross-Module Data Flow | Seamless data flow between InEight modules | InEight Change is part of the seamless integration across the InEight platform, ensuring project data flows automatically between modules. |
