Approval updates the budget automatically
The moment a change order is approved, the job budget reflects it, instead of the PM's spreadsheet being the only place that's current.
Most change order problems aren't about writing the change order itself, every PM has a template for that. The problem is what happens after: the approved change order lives in an email thread or a spreadsheet separate from the actual job budget, so the cost shows up on the books weeks later, if it shows up correctly at all.
A change order log, even a good one, is just a list. What it needs to do is update the job budget the moment something's approved, and create the billing entry that matches, so a client dispute over "did we approve this" has one answer instead of three different spreadsheets.
We connect the approval, wherever it actually happens, a signature, an email, a field app, to the job costing and billing systems so the change is reflected everywhere at once, not re-entered by whoever remembers to update each one.

No separate step where someone re-types the approved change into an invoice days or weeks later.
Client, PM, and accounting all see the same approved change orders and their status, instead of three different answers to "did we approve this."
A change that affects a subcontractor's scope updates their side of the budget too, not just the client-facing number.
The result isn't a nicer change order template. It's a budget that's never more than a day behind what's actually been approved.

Let's talk →Usually just connect it. Most teams already have a change order process and a form or template they're used to, the gap is getting the approved result into the budget and billing automatically, not replacing how the form gets filled out.
Related but different, submittals are about document review and approval before work starts, change orders are about scope and cost changes during the job. See our submittal log automation page for that specifically.
Yes. We build around what you already run, Buildertrend, Procore, CoConstruct, or another platform, and connect the approval flow to your actual budget and billing.
