From Change-Order Chaos to Competitive Edge

From Change-Order Chaos to Competitive Edge

Change orders don’t just derail schedules—they quietly erode margins, stall pay apps, and force crews into costly downtime. In this whitepaper, we break down how small and mid-size general contractors are turning their change-order processes into strategic weapons—reducing idle labor by 30%, cutting CO approval cycles from 12 to under 3 days, and recovering hundreds of thousands in lost revenue.

You’ll learn:

• The 4 silent ways bad CO workflows bleed profit
• Benchmarks from top-performing GC
• The IRIS framework: Capture once, Gate approvals, Sync data, Track to invoice
• How one GC freed up $680K in margin—without adding staff

Backed by insights from Dodge Construction Network, Forrester Consulting, and FMI/Autodesk, this whitepaper arms you with the tools to take control of COs and keep every project moving.
