Use AI to review your change order request before submitting it to catch missing costs and unclear justifications.
Before you send a change order to the owner or architect, let AI review it like a skeptical client would. You've written what changed and why, but you're too close to the work — you might have left out key details, underestimated impacts, or buried the justification in jargon. AI can spot vague cost breakdowns, unclear scope descriptions, and missing explanations that could delay approval or spark pushback. Paste your draft change order into ChatGPT and ask it to review for completeness, clarity, and persuasiveness. It'll flag places where you didn't explain the cost impact clearly, where the reason for the change is buried or confusing, and where line items need more detail. You'll get back a list of gaps and suggestions — then you can revise before anyone else sees it. This takes two minutes and catches the kinds of oversights that lead to questions, delays, or client frustration. It's like having a neutral set of eyes review your paperwork before it goes out the door.
