Use AI to review your change order proposal before submitting it to catch weak justifications and missing cost details.
Before you send a change order to the owner or architect, let AI review it like a skeptical client would. This helps you catch vague explanations, missing backup, or unclear pricing that could get pushback or delay approval. Here's how: 1. Copy your draft change order description into ChatGPT or Claude. 2. Ask AI to review it from the client's perspective and flag anything unclear, missing, or likely to raise questions. 3. Read the feedback and note which sections AI flagged as weak or incomplete. 4. Ask AI to suggest stronger wording or additional details for those specific sections. 5. Update your change order with the improvements, then do a final read-through yourself. 6. Submit the revised version knowing you've already addressed the most common objections. This takes 3–4 minutes and dramatically reduces back-and-forth. You'll get faster approvals because your change orders are clearer, better justified, and harder to challenge.
