FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS

Pricing Exercises Made Fast & Simple

Stop chasing your trades over email for pricing updates. With Clearstory Change Notifications, you can assign scopes, collect quotes, and track responses in real time to keep design changes moving without all the back-and-forth.

Pricing Exercises Shouldn’t Be This Hard

Whether you’re budgeting a design change or a value engineering push, collecting pricing from multiple Subcontractors is a logistical mess. You send PDFs, chase responses, and try to organize it all in a spreadsheet for your team or the owner. It’s slow, messy, and full of errors.

x No central place to assign and track pricing
x No visibility into who has or hasn’t responded
x No simple way to collect scope breakdowns

Send Scoped Pricing Requests to the Right Trades

Got a bulletin, ASI, or addendum? Upload it, select which trades need to price it, and set a response deadline. Clearstory notifies each Trade Partner and logs the request for tracking.

  • Auto-assign trades with one click
  • Eliminate the need to email each trade individually
  • Keep every pricing request logged and centralized in one place for easy access

Subcontractors can either mark the change as No Cost Impact or submit a COR directly in Clearstory. Each response stays linked to the original notification for easy tracking.

  • Provide trades a simple, direct, digital path to respond
  • Track response timestamps to stay on top of progress
  • No missing or stray responses

Track Open Rates and Response Status

See who’s opened your request, who’s responded, and who needs a nudge. Resend reminders with one click to keep the pricing process moving.

  • View all response activity from one real-time dashboard
  • Identify bottlenecks with visibility across every trade
  • Stay on track with smart reminders and instant updates

Route Responses Into Your Change Order Review Workflow

As responses come in, they flow directly into Clearstory’s Change Order Review tool. You can compare CORs, leave feedback, and prep your upstream COR for the Owner all in one place.

  • Hyperlink responses for Owner review
  • Simple markup, redline, and review tools
  • Package clean owner CORs for submission

Push Final Pricing to Your System of Record

Once pricing is reviewed and finalized, push it into your ERP or project management platform with Clearstory’s integrations. No re-keying. No version confusion.

  • Export clean, formatted CORs
  • Auto-push to ERP or project management software
  • No manual stitching of documents

FAQs

How is this different from spreadsheets and RFQ tools?

Clearstory doesn’t replace your financial tools: it connects the missing dots. It organizes scope, responses, and feedback in real time so nothing gets buried in spreadsheets or email threads

Can I use Clearstory just for design changes?

Yes. Many GCs start with Clearstory for design-driven pricing exercises and then expand to use it for Change Orders, T&M Tags, and closeout tracking once they see the time savings.

How does this improve stakeholder collaboration?

Everyone works from the same live log, reducing email back-and-forth and ensuring transparency from design change to approval so pricing workflows move faster and stay organized.

Will this help with GC accountability?

Absolutely. You’ll have clear, time-stamped data that shows exactly what’s been submitted, when, and how long it’s been waiting.
