Tools for contractors
Document the change before the extra work.
Keep new conditions, added work, price effects, schedule effects, and approval tied to the original job.
How Completa Pro helps
A change order should explain what changed, why it changed, and what it does to scope, price, and schedule before the added work proceeds.
Step by step
Four steps for your next job.
- 01
Record the trigger
Capture the customer request, discovered condition, product change, code requirement, or other event that created the change.
- 02
Describe the exact difference
Show added, removed, or revised tasks and keep the original scope available for comparison.
- 03
State the consequences
Make the price, milestone, schedule, material, and access effects visible before approval.
- 04
Get the decision into the record
Keep approval, rejection, expiration, or revision with the version that governed the work.
What stays in the record

- Change reason and evidence
