FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS

Simplify Change Order Reviews With One Click

Stop juggling emails, PDFs, and phone calls to review Change Order Requests. Clearstory brings every Subcontractor COR into one place so you can track, review, and respond faster without the admin drag.

Too Many CORs, Not Enough Hours

Your inbox is full of Change Order Requests in every format and level of urgency. Reviewing them means downloading files, marking up PDFs, and trying to figure out which version is final. Multiply that by dozens of trades across multiple projects, and it’s no wonder approvals stall and things slip through the cracks.

x No standardized COR format across trades
x No easy way to review, revise, or comment
x No audit trail when the owner asks questions

Every COR In One Spot

No more sorting through emails or checking shared drives. All Subcontractor-submitted CORs are instantly logged to a centralized, live Change Order Log so nothing gets lost or buried.

  • Company-wide COR visibility
  • Nothing slips through the cracks
  • No spreadsheets, no extra steps

Markup, Review, & Comment In The Same Place

Leave feedback, ask questions, add markups, or request revisions directly inside the COR view. Mark “revise and resubmit” with a single click. Comments stay with the COR so you never have to search emails for status or backup.

  • Keep review feedback clear and easy to reference
  • Eliminate back-and-forth emails and misplaced markups
  • Everyone sees the same comments and status

Change Order Request Version Control Made Easy

Clearstory lets you mark CORs revise and resubmit, automatically tracks revisions, and keeps a full history of each COR submission. You’ll always know which version is final and who made the last change.

  • Eliminate hopping between systems and platforms
  • Revisions stay traceable with a full change history
  • One-click visibility into who submitted what, and when

Standardized Backup and Attachments

Each COR includes backup like photos, T&M Tags, receipts, and scope notes in one place. Everything is easy to reference and ready to send to the owner if needed.

  • Replace scattered files and spreadsheets with one live source of truth
  • Prepare owner-ready COR packages with complete backup in seconds, not hours
  • Teams stay aligned with one source of truth

Audit Trail for Approvals

Every COR has a full record of status changes, comments, and timestamps so you can confidently explain what happened and when, whether it’s during an owner call or at project closeout.

  • Defend decisions with built-in timestamps and notes
  • Make closeout smoother with traceable COR records
  • No more digging: every action is logged automatically

FAQs

Do subs need training to submit CORs in Clearstory?

No. Most subs start submitting CORs on day one. The interface is simple and mobile-friendly, and our team is always available for support if needed.

How do I know which CORs need my attention?

Clearstory tags every COR with a status like pending, under review, approved, or needs revision. You can filter your COR Log by status and sort by oldest, newest, or priority.

Can I still download and save PDFs for my records?

Yes. Every COR can be exported to PDF at any stage to archive it offline or share it outside the system. Even better, you can download CORs with our audit log to show all the history.

Can I use this if I manage financials in another system?

Absolutely. Clearstory works alongside your internal tools to standardize subcontractor input and make the review process easier—we just clean up the Change Order chaos.
