Change Order Request Templates

Clearstory’s COR Templates eliminate rework and delays by standardizing your submissions, so they’re clean, complete, and easy for GCs to approve quickly. No formatting headaches, no missing backup, no delays.

Manual CORs = Wasted Time and Slow Payments

Manual CORs cost your team time, money, and credibility. When your CORs don’t look right, they don’t get approved. And when they don’t get approved, you don’t get paid.

Inconsistency leads to rejected CORs

Missing documentation causes delays

Manual data slows you down

# Submit Change Orders That
Get Approved — Fast.

Clearstory gives Specialty Contractors a purpose-built, plug-and-play COR template that eliminates formatting friction and ensures every request goes out clean, complete, and ready for GC approval.

Auto-Populate With Real Project Data

Stop copying and pasting from Excel or emails. Start with the details already filled in, pulled straight from signed T&M Tags, job info, or past CORs.

  • Auto-loads hours, materials, and scope
  • GC reference numbers and PCO tracking included
  • Clean, editable templates = fewer rejections

Attach the Right Backup Automatically

Clearstory bundles your signed T&M Tags, photos, invoices, and documents automatically. No more chasing files, it’s all already attached, just the way your GCs want to see it.

  • Auto-linked documentation with every COR
  • Time-stamped photos for faster, zero-dispute reviews
  • No more hunting through emails and file folders

Click. Submit. Track. Done.

One click creates a polished, professional COR including your company logo and logs it to your cloud-based COR Log. Your GC sees it instantly, and your team gets full visibility into review status.

  • Standard, professional format every time
  • Shared log means no version confusion
  • Audit trail + real-time visibility = faster decisions

FAQs

What if our GCs use their own COR format?

No problem. You can customize templates to meet each GC’s preferences, so your CORs don’t get flagged or kicked back.

Do I have to re-enter data from my T&M Tags?

Nope. CORs pull straight from your signed tags, so there’s no copy-paste, no missing info, and no busywork.

What if I need to make changes after submitting?

Just update the COR in Clearstory. Your GC sees the latest version automatically, no email chains or re-sends.

Less than 5 minutes.
