Purpose
This article explains how to submit, approve, and track Change Orders in SiteRise.
Who Uses This
Project managers, general contractors, and executives managing scope and budget changes.
How It Works
A Change Order documents a change in project scope, cost, or schedule that requires formal approval before proceeding.
Submit a change order with a description, cost impact, and schedule impact, then route it through the Approvals workflow (see Approvals).
Approved change orders automatically update the project's Budget and Schedule to reflect the new scope.
Best Practices
Include clear cost and schedule impact details with every change order submission.
Route change orders for approval promptly to avoid work stoppages.
Review approved change orders' impact on your Critical Path and Budget regularly.
Troubleshooting
If a change order's budget impact isn't reflected, confirm it has been fully approved and not left pending.
