Change order management covers the steps a construction team takes to document a scope change, price it, route it for approval, and post it to the budget. Manual handling drags on because narratives, pricing, and approvals pass through several people and tools before anyone sees a final number.
An automated version drafts the change order narrative from field notes, assembles pricing against historical costs, and tracks approval status until a response arrives. The result is a faster owner turnaround and fewer pricing errors reaching the budget.
