Edit Potential Change Orders

Use the Potential Change Orders features and custom documents to communicate and negotiate change orders. Contact your Textura implementation team if you think you need to use these settings. Potential Change Order settings may require custom documents, which include a potential change order log to track potential change orders.

Note: At no point can a Subcontractor bill against a potential change order.

To use the Potential Change Orders feature, you need to select the Edit Potential Change Order project setting on the Project Settings page to generate a change order log in a custom document on the system.

Allow Potential Change Orders to be entered: Choose this setting to allow Subcontractors to log potential change orders.
Allow edits to Potential Change Orders: Choose this setting to allow users to update the status of potential change order logs.

When a project includes potential change orders, use the Edit Potential Change Orders page to review and approve all potential change orders entered by a Subcontractor.

Subcontractor Submits Pay Application

A Subcontractor can submit a pay application once you include a GC Reference number for a potential change order. The pay application will include a custom lien waiver showing the change order log.

Potential Change Order to Completed Change Order

Create a Subcontract Change Order for the approved amount. The system generates an email for the Subcontractor after you create it.

See Creating a Subcontract Change Order for General Contractors.

(Optional) Update Potential Change Order Status

If the project uses the Allow edits to Potential Change Orders setting, the Subcontractor can change the status from Open to Closed. Once the potential change order's status changes to Closed, the draw documents will no longer include the potential change order in the change order log.
