AI Agents for Construction Change Order Processing

AI agents for construction change order processing capture change requests and RFIs, assemble pricing and backup, route approvals to the owner and subcontractors, and update budgets and commitments once approved. Project and finance teams see pending exposure instead of finding it at billing.

Challenges We Solve

Where Change Order Processing Breaks Down

Change requests move through email and spreadsheets, so approved and pending changes are not reflected in budgets, commitments or billings on time.

Capture
Change requests start in email and meetings
Scope changes arrive as emails, RFIs and site conversations. Without one log, some are never priced or never submitted.
Pricing
Pricing backup is assembled by hand
Quotes from subcontractors, labor and material costs and markup must be combined into one package. Gaps lead to rejected requests.
Approvals
Approvals take longer than the work
Owners, architects and internal leads review in separate threads. Work proceeds on verbal direction while the paper catches up.
Exposure
Pending changes are invisible in the forecast
Unapproved changes are not in the budget or cost forecast. Finance sees the exposure only when the billing is rejected.
Subcontracts
Subcontract changes lag the prime changes
Downstream change orders are issued late, so commitments and payments do not match the approved scope.
History
Change order history is hard to reconstruct
Disputes need the timeline of who asked, who approved and what was priced. It is rebuilt from inboxes.
