Frequently asked questions
What is contractor change order software?
Change order software documents scope, price, or schedule changes after the original estimate was accepted. WorkGrid Pro creates the change from the estimate baseline, shows the price delta, collects a dated digital approval, and rolls approved extras into live job margin.
How do change orders protect job margin?
Verbal “go ahead” extras often become unpaid work. A written change order with price impact and client approval turns extras into sold scope. When approvals update the budget automatically, you see margin change before closeout—not after.
Do approved change orders update the job budget?
Yes. Approved change orders increase sold price and cost in the live job budget and margin view, so you always know what the job is actually making.
How do clients approve change orders?
You send a secure approval link. The client reviews the change and price impact, then approves online. Every approval is logged with date and actor for your records.
What should a change order include?
A clear description of the change, cost and price impact, schedule impact if any, and a signed or digital approval with date. WorkGrid Pro ships a free template and digital workflow that covers those fields.
