FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS
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.
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.
Clearstory’s Change Notifications tool gives you a complete workflow for managing design-driven project changes. From assigning scope to collecting pricing to submitting a clean Owner-facing COR, everything flows through one system without the inbox gymnastics.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Use the Change Notification Response Matrix to see how quickly trades respond and what percentage of scope changes are outstanding by contract, all in one simple view.
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.
