Is this legal advice?

No. ProjectOpsIQ Change Orders is an analysis tool: it reads your contract documents and a change order request and drafts a determination with citations for your team to review. Significant or disputed change orders should still go to your attorney.

What kinds of contracts does it work with?

Owner-contractor agreements generally — AIA-style families and custom owner paper. The contract set (agreement, general conditions, plans, specs, exhibits) is indexed once, then every change order request is reviewed against it.

Isn't there already software for this?

There's contract-risk and claims software built for contractors protecting their own side. Owner-side change order determination — entitlement, notice, and pricing checked against the contract, with a written determination out — is the empty chair this module fills.

ProjectOpsIQ · Change Orders

Every change order, held to the contract.

Load the contract set once. Each change order request is reviewed for entitlement, notice, and pricing against what was actually signed — and the determination letter comes out with the clause citations already in it.

The problem: silence is expensive

A change order request lands. Someone on the owner’s side needs to find the contract, check whether the work is already in scope, whether notice came in on time, whether the markup matches the cap, whether the math is even right — and then write a defensible response. Under deadline pressure, most get a gut-feel answer or no answer at all.

Both are costly. Courts have reminded the industry that change orders can be approved by conduct or acquiescence — an owner who pays, or stays silent while the work proceeds, can end up bound regardless of what the contract required. A fast, well-cited written response isn’t just good administration; it protects your position.

How it works

Index the contract set
Agreement, general conditions, plans, specs, and exhibits are ingested once per project — caps, notice windows, markup limits, and scope references become structured data.
Drop in the change order request
Each incoming COR is checked on the three questions practitioners actually ask: entitlement (does the contract allow recovery at all), notice (was it claimed in time and in form), and quantum (is the pricing consistent with the contract and arithmetically right).
Get the determination
Approve, reject, or approve in part — as a signature-ready letter quoting the governing clauses, plus a running change order log and an audit record of every check.

Who it’s for

Owners, owner’s representatives, and program managers who receive change order requests and have to answer them well — on healthcare, commercial, and residential projects alike. For the review framework itself, see the owner’s change order entitlement checklist.
