What Is a Construction Change Order?
A construction change order management is a formal update to the original project scope, budget, or schedule. It happens when something shifts — materials, design, timelines, or site conditions.
Manual tracking (emails, spreadsheets) creates delays, missed approvals, and budget surprises. Teams lose visibility fast.
Change order management software replaces this with real-time tracking, clear approval flows, and instant cost updates.
Key capabilities:
- Real-time change order tracking
- Automated approval workflows
- Cost impact visibility
- Centralized documentation
