Still have questions? We've got answers.

  • Why do GC Self-Perform Teams use Clearstory?
    Clearstory offers an all-in-one Change Order solution that speeds Change Order alignment by automating manual tasks, streamlining organization, and providing real-time communication between GCs and self-perform teams.

  • Doesn’t my job costing or accounting software do this?
    Clearstory is not a replacement for your internal job costing or accounting software. Through our API and existing integrations we connect with your internal software to supercharge the manual workflows that still happen outside those systems.

  • Do you offer a free pilot period?
    Yes! Schedule a demo with our sales team and we can set you up with a free, full-access pilot to try out all of the Clearstory software features on any current project.

  • What if my General Contractor isn’t using Clearstory?
    No problem! You can still use Clearstory to provide your GC with one-click access to a project so they can review documents, add comments, or sign T&M Tags without having to create an account.
