When trades adjust to earlier errors (e.g., plumber offsetting because drywall moved), the extra time/materials and who absorbs cost are often tracked poorly or billed later as contentious change orders. This creates finger-pointing and lost revenue for subs and GC.
Why now: Mobile field reporting adoption and APIs for PM/accounting systems make automated CO capture feasible and valuable to reduce disputes and recover costs quickly.
A mobile-first tool that lets field crews log deviations and corrective actions in real time, auto-calculates preliminary change-order amounts based on configured labor rates and unit rates, captures photos/time/materials, routes approvals and integrates into PM/accounting systems. It can also tag which trade 'absorbed' the adjustment and produce a ledger for claims.
Built for: Subcontractors, small GCs, and project managers who need faster, auditable CO capture
