Change Orders

Construction change order software for general contractors

Keep every change from the field to the contract to the invoice in one place, so nothing gets built that nobody gets paid for.

The problem

Changes pile up faster than anyone can track them

A change starts as a conversation on site, becomes a text, then an email, then a marked-up PDF. Weeks later nobody is sure what was approved, and the invoice is where the argument happens.

The life of a change

From field condition to invoice

  1. 1

    Condition found

    Something in the field differs from the drawings, or the owner asks for a change.

  2. 2

    Change requested

    The change is described and priced, with the reason written down.

  3. 3

    Reviewed

    The team and the owner look at scope, cost and schedule impact.

  4. 4

    Approved

    Approval is recorded before the work proceeds, as your contract requires.

  5. 5

    Billed

    The approved amount adjusts the contract sum and flows into the next pay application.

Korus tracks change orders alongside the rest of the project, so the record is already there when billing time comes.

What you get

Change orders that stay connected

Track changes alongside the project

Korus tracks change orders next to the contract, the bids and the field record, instead of in a separate spreadsheet.

Visible at billing time

Changes to the contract are in front of you when you prepare the pay application.

Signed in the same platform

Send client and subcontractor contracts for signature through DocuSign.

Backed by the field record

Daily logs and site photos sit in the same project, so the reason for a change is easy to find.

One connected system

Bids, contracts, vendors, billing and clients live together, so a change in one place is visible in the others.

FAQ

Answers before you ask

The questions general contractors ask most, answered plainly.

What is a change order in construction?

A change order is a written amendment to a construction contract that changes the scope, the price, the schedule or a combination of the three. It records work that was added, removed or modified after the contract was signed.

Can Korus track change orders?

Yes. Korus tracks change orders alongside the rest of the project, so changes to the contract are visible when billing time comes.

How do change orders affect pay applications?

Approved change orders adjust the contract sum, and the next pay application bills against the new total. When change orders and billing live in the same system, the people preparing the application can see what changed without reconciling by hand.

Does Korus replace my contract's change order process?

No. Your contract governs how changes must be requested and approved. Korus helps your team record and follow changes so nothing is lost between the field, the office and the invoice.
