A Note From Our Founder
Hi,
I want to personally thank you for visiting our site. Clearstory was purpose-built for the construction industry based on boots-on-the-ground, real-world industry experience. While our industry builds amazing things, there’s significant room for improvement.
I’ve worked in the construction industry since I was 17, starting as an apprentice carpenter then continuing on to earn a Construction Management degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Before founding Clearstory, I spent nearly 10 years at one of the largest design-build General Contractors in the U.S., where I managed everything from small, fast- paced TIs to multi-million-dollar ground-up projects. The biggest challenge I encountered was how our industry collectively communicates out-of-contract work (Change Orders) between project stakeholders. Beyond the time-consuming, inefficiency of the process itself, I saw tempers flare, projects run over budget and companies lose money. Lots of it.
Over the years of receiving thousands of illegible Time & Material Tags, delinquent Change Orders and summary logs that simply didn’t add up, I recognized our industry lacked the proper tools to effectively share and communicate out-of-contract costs. That’s why I created Clearstory.
It’s a solution that doesn’t require AI, BlockChain or Big Data, but instead provides an easy-to-use set of cloud-based tools to streamline and organize the process consistently across the industry. It’s a cloud-based mobile platform that enables Subcontractors, GCs and Owners to effectively and efficiently communicate extra work.
We give subcontractors the tools to eliminate paper, email and excel from the Change Order and T&M Process, drastically increasing the speed and clarity in which project costs are recognized and collected from the field. With Clearstory, subcontractors get their Change Orders processed and paid faster.
We give General Contractors a shared digital Change Order log where they can confidently login and see their complete cost exposure, in real-time, from all subcontractors. With Clearstory, GCs save thousands of hours in administrative time and significantly reduce the risk of budget overruns due to poor Change Order management.
And ultimately, we give Owners the peace of mind that their project costs are being tracked in real time, reducing the risk of surprise overruns and giving them the ability to make informed, value-based decisions.
I believe in the Clearstory solution because I’ve lived the problems that led to its creation.
Perhaps the best part is that our basic platform is completely free. Please reach out to our team to schedule a call to learn more!
Sincerely,
Cameron Page
