Change orders are part of almost every capital project. And unfortunately, they’re also a major pain point. Even though the initial scope of work for the project was agreed upon, there always seems to be changes. Change orders exist because of the dynamic and complex nature of capital projects.

For most, it’s simply not possible to anticipate every challenge or variable from the outset. Mistakes or ambiguities in the plan end, the owner’s desire to make aesthetic changes to the project, and the owner’s needs to reduce costs can all be addressed by means change order. However, because these changes occur, they can cause difficulty in executing the project.

Contractors know that because four processes and a lack of technology, the ability to track and manage change orders is very tedious and inefficient. These problems then trickle down to the owners lacking the necessary visibility to address change orders in a timely fashion so they can mitigate their impact to the project.
