What does the Procore "Change Order Workflow" involve?

The Procore "Change Order Workflow" is characterized by a structured process for managing and approving change orders. This comprehensive approach ensures that any requested changes to the scope of work are formally documented, reviewed, and approved by all relevant parties before implementation. This workflow is essential for maintaining project control, allowing for accurate tracking of budget and timeline implications associated with changes.

This structured process facilitates collaboration among stakeholders, ensures clarity in communication regarding changes, and helps mitigate disputes by providing a clear record of approved modifications. The systematic nature of the workflow helps project teams ensure that all changes are thoroughly evaluated in terms of their financial impact and project schedule before being approved and executed.

In contrast, a quick approval process for small changes does not capture the complexity involved in managing significant modifications effectively. Cancellations of contracts and creating new project phases are outside the scope of the change order workflow, as these actions pertain to entirely different aspects of project management, emphasizing further the importance of a dedicated process for managing change orders specifically.
