System 08 · Revenue & Closeout

Change Order Detection & Recovery

Identify additional work before it becomes free work.

Monitors project changes and compiles the evidence needed to support a defensible change-order request.

The operational problem

Why this system exists.

Additional work rarely arrives as a clean change-order request. It appears as a revised detail, superintendent direction, email request, RFI response, access restriction, schedule resequencing, remobilization, damaged work, or changed substrate. When these signals are not connected and documented immediately, legitimate revenue becomes difficult to prove and easy to lose.

What you are buying

A functioning operating system—not a prompt, chatbot, or generic workflow.

The system monitors project documents, communication, and field records for events that may create compensable scope or cost. It opens a change event, collects the contemporaneous evidence, estimates the commercial status, and keeps the item visible until management decides to price, reserve rights, submit, negotiate, or close it.

BUILT FOR

Contractors performing extra work or absorbing disruption because change conditions are identified late or documented poorly.

How it works

From raw project information to controlled action.

The exact integration changes by contractor. The operating sequence and accountability do not.

01

Detect the event

Identify possible additional scope, disruption, delay, remobilization, rework, or customer-directed change.

02

Build the record

Connect drawings, emails, RFIs, photos, reports, labor, material, and schedule evidence to one event.

03

Prepare the request

Create a review-ready narrative, scope description, cost support, and notice package.

04

Drive recovery

Track notice, pricing, submission, negotiation, approval, billing, and collection without losing the thread.

Business outcome

Recover revenue that frequently disappears through undocumented scope changes.

Performance is measured

This implementation is managed against operating indicators—not whether the automation merely runs.

  • Potential changes identified
  • Change-order capture rate
  • Approval value
