Change Order Disputes

Prove Your Extra Work.
Before It Is Disputed.

The Challenge

Extra work performed without daily documentation

Your superintendent knows the work was extra. But without daily records showing exactly what was done, when, and by whom, you have no leverage in the negotiation.

T&M records are incomplete or missing

Time and material tracking requires daily labor and material documentation. When T&M records are reconstructed after the fact, they lose credibility and legal weight.

Changed conditions not photographed before covering

Differing site conditions discovered during excavation or demolition must be documented before work proceeds. But production pressure means photos get skipped.

Change order submissions lag months behind the work

By the time the change order is formally submitted, the daily records that would support it are scattered, incomplete, or lost entirely.

“We had a $2.4M change order disputed because we could not prove the extra work was performed on specific dates. POD would have given us timestamped, GPS-tagged daily records.”
