AI Change Order Review

The Change Order Agent applies the same evaluation sequence to every COR: scope validation against contracts and subcontracts, supporting-document analysis, pricing backup review against budget data, and impact analysis. Every change order follows the same validation checks against the same documentation set, regardless of which project manager runs the review. That consistency reduces variability from individual reviewer habits.

The Change Order Agent compares the COR against the documentation it should reference: the triggering RFI or ASI, affected drawings, the relevant subcontract, the schedule, and the line-item pricing breakdown. When supporting evidence is absent or pricing is unsupported by submitted quotes, it flags the gap in the validation report. Operators see what is missing before they commit to a number, rather than discovering documentation holes during a dispute when the change order amount is already final.

No. The project manager and commercial team approve, reject, and negotiate the change order. The Change Order Agent assembles files, cross-checks scope, validates pricing, analyzes impact, and delivers a recommendation grounded in the documentation. The agent removes the hours spent gathering and cross-referencing documents so reviewers spend their time on the decision and the negotiation.

The Change Order Agent analyzes the requested change against the project schedule to assess whether the claimed time extension is justified by the scope. It includes that schedule impact in the impact analysis alongside the cost evaluation, so the recommendation reflects both dimensions. The operator retains the decision on granting any time extension, with the agent's documented analysis as the supporting basis.

The Change Order Agent connects to project files across integrated systems and applies the same evaluation to CORs on any project it covers. Because it cross-references each request against that project's specific contracts, subcontracts, and documentation set, it standardizes review without flattening project-specific terms. Operations leaders get consistent validation reports and recommendations across the portfolio. They can compare change order activity and review quality across jobs.
