Change order management involves receiving requests, calculating impacts, routing approvals, and updating project records. Manual handling creates delays, approval bottlenecks, and data entry errors that slow project delivery.
Automation captures incoming requests, calculates financial impact instantly, routes approvals to the right stakeholders, and updates all project records automatically. Teams approve changes in days instead of weeks.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
A change order request is submitted via a standardised form. The form captures project name, description, cost, timeline impact, and requestor contact details.
The automation reads the form submission, extracts key details, and validates that all required fields are present. If any field is missing, the automation requests clarification from the requestor.
The automation pulls current project budget and margin data from the project management tool, calculates the cost and margin impact of the change, and flags high-impact changes for manual review.
If the change order cost exceeds the approval threshold, route to senior management. Otherwise, proceed to standard approval routing.
The automation identifies the correct approval stakeholders based on cost and project type, and sends a structured approval request via email with all relevant financial and scope details.
The automation monitors approval responses and automatically sends reminders to non-responders after 24 hours. Once all approvals are collected, the automation logs the approval status.
The automation updates the project with the new scope, timeline, and budget. It also logs the change order for audit and reporting.
The automation sends a confirmation email to the project team and client with the approved change order details, updated timeline, and next steps.
