Your crews did the extra work. The change order never went in.
The crew says yes to the GC on the spot. The paperwork turns up weeks later as a text or a photo of a scrawled ticket. By then the change order is late, and it gets denied.
Sound familiar?
- Field documentation of extra work arrives late, vague or not at all.
- Small extras get done as favors, because writing them up takes longer than the work.
- RFI answers and field directives quietly changed the scope, and nobody priced it.
- Pending change orders pile up until closeout, then get negotiated away.
- The GC denied a change order for late notice.
- Your PM tracks changes in a spreadsheet and email, and prices them when there's time.
What it costs
Every unpriced change is labor and material you paid for and didn't bill. It shows up as fade on the job, and as a fight at closeout, when retainage is on the line and your leverage is lowest.
What you do today
PMs and project coordinators write change orders after the fact from texts, photos and paper tickets. Some owners push foremen harder on documentation, which only goes so far when crews are stretched. Project management software has change-order modules, but many teams find them heavy for the field. Big disputes go to claims consultants or attorneys.
What we do
We find the extra work in each job's own records, and price and package it as a change-order request with the backup attached. Your PM approves and submits it on time. Fewer favors, and a smaller fight at closeout.
