The change order template, in digital form.
ChangeOrdersPro started with a simple observation: almost every contractor handles change orders the same way — a Word template downloaded from a generic legal site, a finger signature on someone's phone, or a verbal "yeah, we'll sort that out" that gets denied four months later when it's time to bill.
“Every builder I know has lost money on a change that got agreed on-site and never written down. We built ChangeOrdersPro so that takes thirty seconds and ends with a signature — not a dispute three months later.”
None of those work. The Word template takes 15 minutes per change order — which means it gets postponed, which means it gets forgotten. The finger signature on the phone doesn't survive a real dispute. The verbal agreement is worth exactly nothing when someone's accountant asks for documentation.
So we built the digital version of the template you already use. Same fields, same professional output, but it sends in 30 seconds. The client signs from anywhere. The contract updates automatically. Done.
The problem nobody was solving
The construction software market chases the wrong customer. Almost every product is built for the top of the market — large GCs running 200+ projects, commercial builders, enterprise operations. The pricing reflects it: $200, $500, $1,000+ per month. The complexity reflects it: weeks of onboarding, full-time admin staff to maintain it, project management systems with 47 modules nobody uses.
The builders who actually send change orders by hand — the ones doing 20 to 200 homes a year — are stuck between two bad options: software too big and expensive for them, or no software at all. Most choose no software. An entire industry runs on Word templates and Excel spreadsheets.
"Every contractor is one undocumented change order away from a payment dispute. The fix is making proper documentation faster than skipping it."
So the wedge for ChangeOrdersPro is simple: we don't compete with the big platforms. We compete with the Word template. That's the actual default behaviour to displace. Make the digital version faster than filling out the template, more professional than the finger signature, more legally robust than the verbal agreement — and most contractors will switch.
Why the free tier is so generous
Most "free" SaaS products are designed to push you toward paid as fast as possible. Limit you to 7 days, then auto-charge. Give you 1 contact, then upsell. Make the free experience deliberately broken so you upgrade out of frustration.
We don't do that. The whole product is free — unlimited change orders, projects and photos, forever. No card required, no trial expiry, no pop-ups. If you only do a few change orders a year, you'll genuinely never need to pay us. And that's the deal — you get the value, you tell other contractors, if it saves you from one undocumented change order, you tell another contractor.
So we made the whole thing free — every feature, no tier, no card. A one-truck remodeler and a busy GC sending 20 change orders a month get exactly the same unlimited tool. We'd rather a large number of builders use something genuinely great for free than charge a handful for something mediocre.
Where we're going
ChangeOrdersPro solves a single, specific, painful problem and does it better than anything else: getting a change order documented, signed, and reflected in the contract before the work starts. We're keeping it sharp, fast, and free where it counts.
If you're a builder who's tired of losing money on undocumented change orders, this is for you. Welcome.
