Document the condition
Record the instruction, conflict, delay, or changed condition in the same daily record as the work.
Construction change order software
Move extra work from the field to written authorization.
Available with Pro and Business, the complete DailyLogsPro change-order workflow turns a documented jobsite event into a priced change order with photos, location, dates, line items, and a captured signature. Every plan can flag potential changes so the office sees them before the evidence goes stale.
Field evidence
Start the change record when the condition is discovered.
A change order is easier to evaluate when the facts are recorded before crews move on. Field users can flag an event from the daily log, preserving the project, date, photos, and location as the basis for a draft change order.
Attach clear proof
Keep relevant photos and captions with the event instead of separating evidence from the request.
Give the office a head start
Surface new changes in a needs-attention queue so pricing work does not wait for a weekly meeting.
Pricing
Build a clear scope and price.
Add labor and material line items, quantities, rates, and descriptions. DailyLogsPro calculates the total and keeps the pricing connected to the field record. That gives reviewers a direct path from the requested amount back to the event that created it.
- Separate labor and material line items
- Automatic total calculation
- Status tracking for drafts awaiting pricing
- Pending and approved dollar rollups
- Project-level change-order history
Approval
Capture authorization before approved work disappears into the job.
The approval workflow records the signer, the signature, and the date. Only approved change orders become billable in DailyLogsPro. A clean authorization PDF provides a document that can be shared with the general contractor or owner and retained with the project record.
Approval is a business control.
DailyLogsPro helps your team distinguish documented potential changes from work that has received written authorization. Contract notice and authorization requirements still control.
Billing handoff
Keep approved changes connected to the next financial step.
With the Business integration, project information can sync from PayAppPro into DailyLogsPro, and approved change orders can be written back as Schedule of Values lines. The office avoids re-keying the same approved scope and amount before continuing the AIA-style billing workflow in PayAppPro.
See how approved changes affect the contract sum and continuation detail in PayAppPro’s guide to billing change orders on G702/G703-style pay applications.
Process control
Keep potential, pending, and approved changes distinct.
A project can contain dozens of field issues, but they do not all have the same financial status. DailyLogsPro surfaces drafts that need pricing, requests waiting for a signature, approved changes, and related dollar totals. This helps the office focus on the next action instead of treating every issue as equally complete.
Status visibility does not replace contract administration. Your team still needs clear responsibility for notice, scope development, pricing, follow-up, authorization, and billing. The software keeps the record and handoffs visible.
- Potential change documented in the field
- Draft awaiting scope or price
- Request ready for reviewer action
- Signature or authorization pending
- Approved change ready for billing
- Rejected or revised history retained
Review quality
Give reviewers the information needed to make a decision.
A strong request explains the changed scope, basis, location, labor and material calculation, schedule effect, and exclusions. It references the originating field event and presents relevant photos without forcing the reviewer to search through unrelated project files.
Clear documentation does not guarantee approval, but it reduces avoidable delay caused by incomplete information and makes the final decision easier to trace.

Frequently asked questions
What is construction change order software?
Construction change order software organizes the documentation, pricing, review, approval, and reporting associated with changes to contracted work. DailyLogsPro begins that process with the field event and its supporting evidence.
