01 · WHAT IT DOES
What Change Orders does
Change Orders turns what happens on site into paperwork the same day. The crew sends a note or photo, and the agent drafts a change order with the price and schedule impact, ready for your review.
Once you approve, the client signs from their phone and the JobTread budget updates. No more "we talked about that" at the final invoice.
02 · THE PROBLEM
Changes get agreed on site and never written down. Then they turn into a fight at the final invoice.
Sounds familiar?
Changes get agreed verbally on site
Change orders are written days later, or never
Final invoices turn into arguments
JobTread budgets don't match what was actually built
