Use AI to instantly convert complex change order requests into clear, scope-specific pricing worksheets for subcontractors.
When a client or architect requests a change, you often need to quickly get pricing from multiple subcontractors. Instead of writing separate emails explaining the same scope five different ways, use AI to transform the change order details into a standardized pricing worksheet. This saves you from rewriting the same scope description over and over, ensures every sub gets identical information (avoiding confusion and inconsistent bids), and gives you responses you can compare apples-to-apples. The AI structures the request with clear line items, quantities, and questions, so subs can fill in prices without back-and-forth clarification. You'll cut 20-30 minutes off every multi-trade change order and get faster, more accurate quotes. Paste the change order details—even rough notes—and tell the AI which trades need to price it. It will generate a clean breakdown with space for each sub to insert their numbers. You can copy-paste this into emails or print it as a PDF. The time savings multiply when you're juggling multiple change orders across several projects. This also creates a paper trail that protects you if scope questions arise later, since everyone received identical information.
