Simplify Change Order Reviews With One Click
Stop juggling emails, PDFs, and phone calls to review Change Order Requests. Clearstory brings every Subcontractor COR into one place so you can track, review, and respond faster without the admin drag.
Too Many CORs, Not Enough Hours
Your inbox is full of Change Order Requests in every format and level of urgency. Reviewing them means downloading files, marking up PDFs, and trying to figure out which version is final. Multiply that by dozens of trades across multiple projects, and it’s no wonder approvals stall and things slip through the cracks.
No standardized COR format across trades
No easy way to review, revise, or comment
No audit trail when the owner asks questions

FAQs
Do subs need training to submit CORs in Clearstory?
No. Most subs start submitting CORs on day one. The interface is simple and mobile-friendly, and our team is always available for support if needed.
How do I know which CORs need my attention?
Clearstory tags every COR with a status like pending, under review, approved, or needs revision. You can filter your COR Log by status and sort by oldest, newest, or priority.
Can I still download and save PDFs for my records?
Yes. Every COR can be exported to PDF at any stage to archive it offline or share it outside the system. Even better, you can download CORs with our audit log to show all the history.
Can I use this if I manage financials in another system?
Absolutely. Clearstory works alongside your internal tools to standardize subcontractor input and make the review process easier—we just clean up the Change Order chaos.
