About This Automation

Change order management involves receiving, estimating, approving, and documenting scope changes on construction projects. Manual processes create delays, approval bottlenecks, and budget tracking errors that slow project delivery.

Automation captures incoming requests, generates cost and schedule estimates using historical data, routes approvals to decision-makers, and updates project budgets automatically. The result is faster approvals, accurate budget tracking, and field teams that start work sooner.

Key features
Capture change requests from email, phone, and text into a structured log automatically
Generate preliminary cost and schedule estimates using historical project data
Route approval requests to project managers and general contractors with automatic escalation
Update project budgets in accounting software once approvals are received
Notify field teams of approved changes and archive documentation for audit compliance

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Change Request Submittedtrigger

A new change order request arrives via email or is logged in the intake form. The automation detects the request and extracts key details.

2. Log to Change Order Tracker

The request is automatically added change order log with timestamp, requestor, and scope summary.

3. Estimate Analyzes Impact

The automation reviews the change request, pulls historical cost data, and generates a preliminary cost and schedule estimate.

4. Route for Approval

The estimate is sent to the project manager and general contractor with a structured approval request and deadline.

5. Update Project Budget

Once all approvals are received, the project budget is automatically updated with the new cost and timeline.

6. Notify Field Team

The field supervisor receives a notification confirming the change order is approved and work can proceed.

7. Archive

The approved change order is logged as a project record for audit and future reference.
