How Commercial Construction Companies Use AI to Reduce Change Order Leakage
See how commercial construction firms use AI to detect changes across RFIs and field reports and track each to billing so unbilled work stops leaking profit.
Commercial Construction Companies that get this right move share of changes captured in an executed change order from changes performed before they are billed to every change tracked to billing. Here is how the leading firms do it.
The Benchmark
Based on commercial contractors that detect potential changes and track each to billing (Plays 6 and 12).
Use Cases That Drive This Outcome
Detects potential changes across RFIs, field reports, and directives and tracks each from identification to billing so the revenue is captured.
Surfaces the scope implications hidden in RFI answers so changes are spotted at the source rather than at invoicing.
Before and After
Work proceeds on a verbal directive before a change order is ever written. Potential changes hide in RFI answers and field reports and never get priced. Change orders stall unsigned while the cost sits on the company's books, and no one can see the total exposure of unapproved changes at any moment.
Potential changes are flagged the moment they appear in an RFI answer, field report, or directive, logged against the job with their cost driver, and tracked through pricing, approval, and billing. The project manager is alerted when work outruns the paperwork, and the total value of unapproved changes is always visible. The company bills for the changes it performs.
Which Plays to Start With
Play 6 drives the tracking and follow-up that move each change from identified to priced, approved, and billed.
Play 12 surfaces total change exposure and stalled items so leakage is visible and managed.
