Change order template for foremen

Foremen who need to turn a field change into a documented change order without leaving the site.

Foremen are the ones who see the change happen — and the ones least likely to have time to write it up properly before the next fire needs putting out. A memo that takes minutes, not an evening, is the difference between real documentation and a blurry photo texted two weeks late.

“Lucky if I get pictures from the field.”

— a foreman on r/ConstructionManagers

“3+ weeks to get a CO approved (sometimes longer).”
