What is a change order?

A change order is a signed document that updates a project's original scope, price, or schedule after the contract is approved. It records what changed, why, and the new cost, so the contractor and customer agree before work continues.

How does the change order process work in ArcSite?

Update the drawing, products, and pricing on the original job, and ArcSite creates a versioned change order showing exactly what changed. Your customer signs on the spot or from their phone, and you can collect a deposit or balance as soon as it's approved.

Do I have to create a new proposal for a change order?

No. ArcSite updates scope, pricing, and drawings in place, without restarting the job or duplicating proposals.

Can I collect payment for a change order?

Yes. Once the customer approves, you can collect a deposit or the balance by credit card or ACH through ArcSite Payments.

How does ArcSite keep a record of changes?

Every update, signature, and payment is logged automatically, so your office and finance teams have the full history of the job.
