For owners and developers managing capital projects

Know what you're actually being asked to pay for.

ChangeOrdr.Ai reads every change order your GC submits, line by line, and shows you exactly which costs are justified — and which ones are worth pushing back on before you sign off.

Built to catch the things reviewers miss at line item 40 of 60

Change orders bury the questionable items in with the legitimate ones. ChangeOrdr.Ai reads the whole document against the contract, the schedule, and the approved scope — not just the numbers.

Entitlement

Overtime with no controlling delay

OT premiums billed against schedule acceleration that the project schedule doesn't actually support — a common ask that's rarely challenged line by line.

Markup

Stacked or duplicated markup

GC overhead and profit applied on top of subcontractor markup that already includes it, or markup applied twice across tiers of the same change.

Scope

Scope that doesn't match the drawings

Line items describing work that's already included in the approved contract documents, or scope broader than what the triggering RFI or ASI actually calls for.

Pricing

Unsupported material escalation

Escalation costs cited without a index reference, quote date, or comparison to the original bid — flagged for backup before it's accepted.

Decide what to push back on

Get a marked-up document plus a plain-language summary you can act on — or send straight to leadership.

An executive summary leadership will actually read

Not a wall of flagged line items — the story of what triggered the change order, what's solid, and what's worth a conversation with your GC before it's approved.

Executive summary — CO-014

Rough-in acceleration and markup drive most of the exposure

This change order stems from a two-week rough-in delay that the GC attributes to a coordination issue with the mechanical contractor. The schedule impact is real, but the $42.3K overtime premium assumes acceleration wasn't otherwise recoverable — worth confirming before approval.

Markup on §5.0 appears applied at both the sub and GC tier for the same scope. Recommend requesting a corrected breakdown before signing.

"I was doing this by hand on my own project — this is the tool I wished I had."

ChangeOrdr.Ai started from managing change orders on a live data center build — the same back-and-forth with a GC over what was, and wasn't, actually justified. The patterns repeat across projects. This is that judgment, built into a tool.
