Create, price, and get approval on change orders before you leave the job site. EZChangeOrders is built for contractors, remodelers, and trade crews who lose margin on scope changes that never made it onto paper. Describe the change out loud or snap a photo of it, and EZChangeOrders turns it into a clear, professional change order your customer can review and approve from their phone. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Capture a change by voice or photo while you are still standing in front of it - Get a clean change order written up for you, with scope, cost, and schedule impact - Send it for customer approval by text message and keep a time-stamped record - Your customer approves and signs from a link — no app and no account on their side - Attach job site photos as evidence so a change never turns into a dispute - Keep every change organized by project, from first request to signed approval - Export the signed record as a PDF for clients, general contractors, and your office - Work in English or Spanish: spoken notes are transcribed and written up for you NOTHING IS SENT UNTIL YOU SAY SO Every change order is yours to review and correct first. Nothing carrying a price leaves your phone without you sending it. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Recordings and photos are saved to your device before anything is uploaded, so you can capture in a basement or on a site with no service.
