Why do Subcontractors use Clearstory

Clearstory offers an all-in-one Change Order solution that accelerates your process by automating manual tasks, streamlining organization and improving customer communication.

Do you offer a free pilot period?

Yes! Schedule a demo with our sales team and we can set you up with a free, full-access pilot to try out all of the Clearstory software features on any current project.

Doesn’t my job costing or accounting software do this?

Clearstory is not a replacement for your internal job costing or accounting software. Through our API or existing integrations we connect with your internal system and help you supercharge workflows and communication that happen outside those systems.

What if my General Contractor isn’t using Clearstory

Clearstory is designed to be used by Specialty Contractors independently of their GCs. Invite your GC to a project so they can add review comments, and sign T&M Tags, but they are not required to create an account.

Automated Owner COR Logs for General Contractors

Your Owner COR Log Should Not Be Static

Most owner-facing COR logs start in project financial software but quickly turn into outdated exports that need constant cleanup. You end up tracking changes in email, chasing backup files, and sending multiple versions just to stay aligned with your client.

Outdated logs that owners don’t trust

Endless back-and-forth to align

Misaligned data that erodes confidence

Forecasting Made Easy

Simplify the forecasting process. Every time you upload or create a COR in Clearstory, the log updates on its own. No manual steps needed. Filter views to show only what you want owners to see.

FAQs

Will sharing a live log create more back-and-forth?

It actually does the opposite. With one shared view, owners get the answers they need without another round of emails or meetings. Scope, status, and backup is already all in one place.

What if my team doesn’t want owners to see everything?

You control what’s shared. GCs can choose which CORs and fields to display, so you provide transparency without losing control over internal details or draft items still in review.

How does this help me build trust with the owner?

When owners see accurate, organized COR data in real time, they stop questioning what’s missing. Clearstory makes every change transparent and easy to verify, so reviews move faster and relationships stay strong.

How does this save time for my project teams?

Instead of building spreadsheets or weekly reports, PMs can point owners to a live COR log that updates automatically. It eliminates duplicate effort and gives your team time back to manage the work instead of the paperwork.
