Dynamic change order management allows flexible documentation of all changes made to a construction project's scope of work at any time during the job's lifespan
BACKGROUND
The ability to control construction change orders amongst the fast-paced construction industry is crucial. ConstructionOnline™ provides absolute clarity for construction companies by allowing them to create & view change orders online, enter a response of Approved or Rejected, and even submit electronic signatures.
For instances when a documented response of Approved or Rejected may need to be reversed, ConstructionOnline™ offers an option to "Revert to Pending" on Change Orders.
This article contains the following sections:
